In the summer of 1925, all of Russia turns its eyes to the coronation of Alexei II, a dazzling spectacle meant to reaffirm the strength of the monarchy. But beneath the splendour, a sinister plot is brewing in the shadows-a conspiracy within the Ballet Russes, where Bolshevik sympathizers conspire to strike at the very heart of the empire. As the grand event draws near, more and more people seem determined to make the new reign a short one. While the empire stands on the edge of peril, Princess Natalia Paley becomes ensnared in a dangerous fascination with Serge Lifar, a brilliant but subversive dancer with ties to the conspiracy. What begins as admiration soon turns into something far more reckless-a betrayal that could not only cost Natalia her friendship with Alexei but put the entire monarchy at risk. Meanwhile, Vladimir and Tata struggle to make it to the altar as their love is tested by endless delays and the meddling of Tata's formidable mother, Countess Brassova. As tensions rise and secrets from the past come to light, they are forced to confront whether their relationship can survive the forces working against them. For Irina and Feodor, the weight of responsibility as Viceroys of the Caucasus has cast yet another shadow over their once-passionate marriage. Irina, struggling with the demands of motherhood and her new life, throws herself into an ambitious project to improve the lives of those under her care-an endeavour that will challenge her in ways she never expected.Complete

For The Sword
"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series

Raven Falls
She was young, reserved and a complete book lover. A rather curvy girl with hazel eyes. He was strange with an always bored look but had an unnatural glint. You could say he was inhumanly beautiful with a perfect set of blue eyes. . . . "I'm not interested in whatever pledge father had with the Gregory's. I will not marry that girl mother" He barks angrily as he stomps toward the foyer. "Besides I heard she has the most boring set of hazel eyes" He adds as he mentally face palms at such a weak excuse. "Alex you have to do this, not for yourself but for your father.. - the kingdom" his mother pleads as she tries to catch up with him. "How would the kingdom look at a king who cannot honour a pledge" she says. He groans furiously this was a waste of time. Alexander freezes midway as a foreign memory flashes through his mind. He wasn't even interested in hazel eyesComplete
