Her life takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself falling for Dillon, her loyal and kind-hearted butler.

Shocked and furious, the Queen arranges for Elodie to marry Lord Nathaniel, a suitable nobleman, to save the family's honor.

With nowhere else to go, Elodie spends a cold night on the streets of London before deciding to follow Dillon to Paris. After being expelled from the palace, how does Elodie's journey through hardship and independence in Paris shape her character and influence her decisions later in the story?

In the kingdom of Aeziris, a rebellion is rising, but its reins are not in the hands of its citizens. With a fine string entwining her heart with that of its chieftain, Esméralda must walk a knife-edge while navigating her way through a palace of masks and smiles that stab, and maybe just not lose her all in the process. •°• Book #1 in 'of aether' duology. Esméralda Alby has been hammered two things her whole life. One, she is beneath her step-sister; two, to work like a machine. Despite being the first-born daughter of a wealthy merchant, she is never introduced as such, let alone be treated with its honor. After her mother's death, the word love, for her, resonated with the hollow of meaninglessness until she met him, a charismatic man with a persistent aura of mystery. Eirik, the blossom to her flower, the blue to her sky - he who brought spring to her wilting life. He isn't a king as his name suggested, but to her, he had become hers. But when her father's orchards get infected, drastically dwindling their income, Esméralda is forced to leave to the palace to work as a handmaiden for a lady of The Queen's Trial, an event hosted to choose a suitable wife for the Crown Prince of Aeziris. It was supposed to be a job freeing her from the chains of the past, but how long could she stay sane when Eirik stands in front of her as the only heir to the throne of Aeziris, as Crown Prince Aedric Emsworth? There might just be more to the rebellion than what met the eye.

In a world where ancient magic lingers beneath the surface and steam-powered inventions shape the future, Selene, a cloaked assassin with a dark past, and Taren, a rogue inventor with a heart full of secrets, must confront forces beyond their control. When Selene's hidden power draws the attention of a ruthless faction bent on awakening a forgotten darkness, she finds her only ally is Taren, a daring engineer whose brass and clockwork creations may hold the key to their survival-but trusting him could be as dangerous as the enemies they face. As the line between light and shadow blurs, Selene and Taren are pulled into a web of intrigue, betrayal, and forbidden magic. With enemies closing in from every direction, they must uncover the truth behind an ancient prophecy that links them both-and make impossible choices before the darkness consumes them.
