"Beware of the spider who casts the web."

To be an Oswald is to be recognized as powerful, feared, admired, and desired. A family of sorcerers who have never waned in their abilities, and has grown in power amongst the paranormal community. There is only one thorn in the flower bed. A black rose amongst the ruby red. 

Alicia Oswald.

For the first time in nearly a thousand years, a human was born into the Oswald bloodline. Alicia must figure out how to survive and excel in a world that does not tolerate humans, while also trying to sort through the demons inside. And as she struggles to live up to her family's standards, the flaws within an ancient empire will be exposed.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited. Cover credit goes to @CeeMTaylor. Go check out her books too if you like Dark Fantasy Romance-she writes some pretty incredible stuff! Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know! I am feedback-friendly and here to learn :)
