But nothing could prepare her for the whirlwind of chaos that ensues when she is suddenly pulled into a mysterious portal, thrusting her into an unfamiliar world against her will.
Mistaken for the lost Lahian princess, Kaia Carda, Keira finds herself at the center of a prophecy that could spell the end of the curse plaguing the kingdom of Baxium. Yet, as she grapples with questions of identity and destiny, Keira's journey is fraught with uncertainty.
Meanwhile, Kaia is thrust into Keira's world, forced to confront the startling possibility that her entire life may have been a deception orchestrated by a portal mishap involving her father and Keira's father. As she navigates the unfamiliar terrain of Keira's reality, Kaia must confront her deepest fears and unravel the truth hidden beneath layers of deceit.

As Keira and Kaia's destinies intertwine, they must confront their deepest fears and face insurmountable challenges to unlock the secrets of the enchanted sword and break the curse of Baxium. But in a world where nothing is as it seems, the line between friend and foe blurs, and the true test of courage lies in the willingness to embrace the unknown.

The Carnelian Way
Deceit. Love. Power. Centuries ago, the mages of Old Denea destroyed their civilisation to keep Mai, a half-blood prince, from inheriting the throne. Mai rescued the survivors from the remaining Devastation and brought them to Eurora. Since that time the refugees' descendants have toiled--ostracised and feared by the Eurans, enslaved by the strict dictates of the Magisterium that keep their powers in check--hoping to earn forgiveness from the now god-like Emperor Mai. Rina, a young Denese woman leaves her home in Eurora's northern outpost, Amadore, and travels to the capital, Nebia, determined to find a way to convince Mai and the Magisterium to free her people before they rise up. But when she gets there, she uncovers a web of lies and deceit that threatens to trigger the demise of another nation.

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.

Kyra (Complete)
He wanted her to say something, anything! Why was she agreeing to this? Why was she accepting marriage to a man she didn't even know? Why was she so weak, so stupid, so powerless? He wished above all things that he could walk away from this mess but his father had made it very clear; he couldn't walk away, only Kyra could. And until then, he was stuck with her. Yet, here she sat, hardly able to even look him in the eye. "You, Kyra, are many things" He said, his finger tracing the outline of her face. She held her eye lids shut, no doubt afraid to look at him. "A bait. A punishment. A torment" He snarled, making certain to leave his venom dripping from every word as he laid emphasis on them. He leaned forward and pressed his lips menacingly against her ears. "But. You. Will. Never. Be. My. Wife" Retracting his finger and leaning back, he watched her, waiting patiently for her reaction. But she sat there, her eyelids still shut, her hands trembling by her side and her lips pressed together. She said nothing and it infuriated him. He hated the woman that sat before him, the weakling that was his curse. He watched with great disgust as a drop of tear disentangled itself from her thick, black, long lashes and made its way down her flushed cheek while her eyes stood shut. With that, he turned around and walked away, determined to be the one to break Kyra. **** When Vihaan's father forces him into an arranged marriage with Kyra, he treats her as she deserves; with anger and disgust. Until the real reason his father chose Kyra is revealed; her life hangs on the balance and with her death, Vihaan stands to gain her father's entire empire.
