Silver: The Lost Royal ✓
Karyn doesn't believe in magic... until the day it comes for her. When four mysterious students arrive at Emerfield High, Karyn's haunting dreams vanish, and so does her best friend. They claim Karyn belongs to Wlerden, a kingdom that remembers her far more than she remembers it. To them, she was going to save a nation on the brink of ruin. To her, it was a chance to finally uncover the truth about her parents' murder, a truth someone had gone to deadly lengths to keep buried. And she took it. But Wlerden is a world fractured by power, and the past Karyn chases may destroy her before she can claim it. As her powers spiral beyond her control, she must survive the hunt of monsters and men, and decide if she's ready to become something more than a missing heir.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
