Esmerelda was always a curious child, but magic was taken out of her life at a young age, just like her parents were. Esmeralda, a girl taken under the wing of the notorious assassin king, Nikolai. Nikolai decided it was in his best interest to teach Esmerelda to be an assassin of her own, despite how highly frowned upon it was for a girl to become one. 

Esmerelda, or Esme, as her friend Wes calls her, does her best to please her master, and does the best she can to forget about her past. As little as she remembers. That of which is encouraged by Nikolai himself. 

Unbeknownst to Esme, Nikolai was preparing her to become his successor, and become the Queen of assassins, despite the scorn placed around her being an assassin already. Esme tried her best to become the best she could be. To both please Nikolai and to earn the respect of the people around her, no matter the costs. 

But despite her efforts to abandon her past, it comes back to bite her in the rear. Proving to all, that you cannot outrun fate.

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.
