Shadow of the Returned
When the endless Nightmare finally collapsed, Ashen believed he had won. He had slain the last of the dream gods, torn himself free of a realm that fed on fear, and wished only for one thing: to go home. But the world he returns to is nothing like the one he left behind. Centuries have passed, the cities have fallen into ruin, and the land itself is being consumed by a spreading mist that carries living shadows. Humanity survives behind broken walls, haunted by the creatures that once belonged only to dreams. They speak in whispers about the Returned, warriors who came back from the Nightmare changed, powerful, and cursed. Ashen is one of them. To the people he is a weapon, to the Dominion he is a threat, and to the growing darkness that infects the waking world he is something even worse - a seed. With Mira, a healer who still believes in light even when surrounded by ruin, Ashen begins to face what he has become: a man caught between saving what remains of humanity and destroying it. As the line between dream and reality fades, he must decide whether he will fight the darkness within him or finally surrender to it.
Bound by Every Lifetime
High above the clouds, in a castle carved from storm and stone, Princess Serenya has only ever wanted freedom. Rebellious, fiery, and caged by duty, she dreams of more than a crown and a gilded prison. But when raiders attack the Skykeep during a midnight battle, she is saved by a mysterious masked warrior whose loyalty-and secrets-are as dangerous as his blade. He is everything her father warns her against: silent, ruthless, forbidden. And yet, against every rule of her kingdom, he swears a vow that unsettles her heart: "In every lifetime, I will find you." Drawn together by fate and torn apart by prophecy, Serenya and the warrior must battle enemies both outside and within the castle walls. Yet the greatest threat is not the traitor hiding in her father's court... but the truth stitched into the stars. For theirs is a love written across centuries, bound to burn as brightly as fire- and destined to end in blood.Complete
