"I, Sesian M. H. Grace, am the true Queen of the North, and I refuse to be silenced."
•••
Princess Sesian Grace is nothing but a frequenter of sorrow and loss. Parents stripped from her at thirteen, kingdom revoked by fifteen, and freedom stolen since maturity (sixteen), an inherited coronation seems ages away. As the unofficial "Northern Princess" with no city to house her subjects, the nomadic Sesian's life isn't her own to control. To stake her claim over her own lost icy region, she must negotiate with the enemy force that has taken it over: the Southern Empire and the Dragon King.
King Evan Carrow has had everything handed to him on a golden platter since his conception. With no notion of forgiveness or mercy, he takes what he wants and rules with the ferocity of the dragon he commands. Property, lives, women; with no end to his "birthrights", a princess incapable of raising an army to fight him for her own kingdom warrants the least possible interest or benefit on his behalf, except for one thing: her.
An inexplicable bond draws him to her, which only fuels the urge to lay his claim upon her. But centuries of rivalry and feud split the two apart, and personal secrets cut deep. If the princess wants her land, she must give up the compromise and settle for what he wants, no matter the terms, no matter the cost. Sesian and her people cannot take the brute of a war against an army or the persecution from Evan himself, and she hasn't the ability to stand up to him.
What kind of a man is the Dragon King, really? What does he want from Sesian and, much more, can she forgive herself for giving in to his demands? What kind of a woman does that make her, and can she possibly hope to save her subjects before they become extinct? They say "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", but this time it may just be too much... and Evan may be the key to the ultimate destruction or salvation of the Northern Princess.

Season 1 of The Gilded Throne
After the war, the Elven Queen rose to power by declaring peace. Centuries later, an ancient magic emerged. Now Izogie and her friends must race to the north to reveal the truth behind the Mysterious War.
*****
The Arcane Uprising is a war long buried with the Azgeda empire. At that time, mankind fought and won a battle to protect the North. However from the ashes of the war the Elven Queen rose to power with a name declaring peace. Victoria Penance forced the children of mighty warriors to abandon their heritage for a life of servitude. During the child's eighteenth year the perfect soul was given to five victors after they conquered their humanity.
For centuries the nation of Penance laid quiet until the day Izogie Knight, the last descendant of a powerful bloodline was destined to forsake her royal lineage. Instead of renouncing her ancestral connection to magic Izogie does something far worse. She defies the kingdoms control by awakening an ancient power.
Her actions trigger a ripple effect among the next generation, unleashing a clash between freedom and reign. Amidst the struggle for dominance and societal upheavals Izogie and her companions must race to Kushlite to urge the emperor that still sits on the gilded throne to fight. But Queen Victoria may already have the keys to unlocking absolute control over the North.
*****
Soren released the Astral Steel from its sheath, and the blade glistened like a distant galaxy. "I promised your father I would keep you safe, so if you want to leave, you have to go through me."
"Are you ready," He stepped away from his horse, summoning his magic. "You can't fathom the power you have denied, but soon, you'll have a choice. Either consume under the Dragmus banners or die as a Netherborne."
