HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Complete
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.

Among the Ashes (Book 2)
Fern should've stayed dead. But death spat her out with fire in her lungs and Thane's name on her tongue. Now, resurrected and burning with something new and terrifying in her blood, she's on a desperate hunt-not just to find Thane and the others she was forced to leave behind, but to understand what she's become and how the hell she's alive. Her search drags her into the heart of Evatan-the kingdom of men-and straight into the path of the High Lord Rouland. He's dangerous, calculating, and hauntingly familiar. He keeps Fern on a gilded leash, parading her as the savior of his people, all while dangling Thane's whereabouts like a knife to her throat. With Thane's face and none of his heart, he offers a trade: help him win the war, and he'll give her information on Thane. But trust comes at a cost-and Rouland wants far more than an alliance. He wants everything. But Fern didn't crawl her way back from the grave to become a bargaining chip. Surrounded by strangers, tangled in politics, and stalked by the shadow of war, Fern has to play the game right. She meets new allies, reunites with old ones, and keeps the ember of rebellion burning in her chest. The war is far from over. Sayda is still in hiding. And Fern's return might just break the world for good. Will she take the High Lord's deal? Or will she burn the whole damn kingdom down? Among the Ashes is a story of rebirth, ruin, and ruthless choices. Power always comes with a price. And Fern is done paying it in silence.

Girl Who Devours Crowns
🚨 THIS STORY DOES NOT HAVE A HAPPY ENDING READ AT YOUR OWN COST 🚨 🔥 Girl Who Devours Crowns A Fantasy Tragedy of Fire, Fate, and a Love That Burns Too Bright She was raised by a dragon. Born of fire. Bound by prophecy. And fated to end kingdoms. Vaenya has always known she doesn't belong. With fire in her veins and a past she can't remember, she was raised in the wilds by a dying beast whose love was fierce-but never quite human. When that beast is slain and Vaenya is captured, she's dragged in chains to a kingdom that fears her and a king who would rather see her silenced than saved. They call her the Kingdom Breaker. A weapon. A curse. A girl with a thread of fire wrapped around her soul. But not everyone sees a monster. Ronan, the youngest prince, visits her in secret-reading her stories and unraveling the quiet, aching girl beneath the flames. Caelum, the bastard of the crown, is ordered to tame her-but finds himself drawn to the fire he was meant to extinguish. As war brews between kingdoms and ancient dragons begin to stir once more, Vaenya must face the truth: The prophecy isn't about who she might destroy. It's about who she might love. And when her mother rises corrupted by dark magic, Vaenya is forced into a final battle-one that could save the world... Or end her own. A searing, emotional fantasy for fans of slow-burn tragedy, dragon lore, and doomed love. She never wanted a crown. She only wanted to be free.Complete
