"You'd be surprised how far anyone would go to protect someone they trust."
To be Chosen as a Knightess on Knightess Day is a blessing. It means that you have the blood of the gods running through your veins. It means that you would give up your life to protect the Queen's with no hesitation. It means that you would do anything to see the kingdom safe from enemies. It means that if you fail to do your job it becomes a curse.
Althea is terrified of Knightess Day. Especially since she's turned eighteen, which means that she and every girl her age in villages across the kingdom must enter into a competition where the chance for being Chosen as a Knightess is either high for you or very low. To be Chosen is practically a death sentence, not only for her but for her twin brother and grandmother. She knows this because her mother was a Knightess, before she was brutally murdered by an assassin while defending the Queen.
On the morning of Knightess Day Althea, while walking in the woods, meets two mysterious strangers who give her a simple yet frightening warning: do not get Chosen. Then they disappear.
Suddenly, Althea is unwillingly Chosen by the Head Knightess and is forced to go with the other Knightesses to the Queen's palace. And now her brother's life is in danger.

The Silent Sister
Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.
