Sword of the Heart ~ Knight x Princess
Knight x Princess In a kingdom ruled by fear and tradition, lies a knight and a princess. A knight, cloaked in armor and rumor, wearing a mask that hides a soul weighed down by sorrow and hatred. A princess, being swallowed by expectation, overlooked by those too loud to notice her pain. When fate binds them in an arranged marriage neither of them chose, it is meant to be a sentence. A punishment for her, a strategy for him. But behind guarded eyes and sharp silences, something begins to stir. He sees the quiet fire in her that no one else bothered to notice. She sees the man behind the blade, the one who bleeds and the one who hides. In stolen glances. In late-night conversations and lingering silences. She begins to see the man beneath the steel. He begins to hear the voice behind her silence. But love is dangerous in a world like theirs. Because secrets are buried deep within the castle walls. And neither of them truly knows the other's past... or what their union is truly meant to ignite. He was forged to destroy. She was taught to endure. Together, they may either save a kingdom...or burn it to ash. When sword meets silence, when fear meets fury... what will be born of it? What destiny awaits when the fearsome knight's fury meets the silent strength of the quiet princess? Together, can they rewrite the fate that neither could face alone? *note~i do not own any pictures/images that are uploaded throughout the entirety of this book...all rights go to the rightful owners*
Heart of the Forest, Blood of the Chief
In a world where war devours beauty and hatred rules the land, a golden-haired elf and a battle-scarred orc stand on opposite sides of a crumbling peace. Luner has always belonged to the forest-gentle, reclusive, and attuned to the whispers of the wild. She walks in harmony with fae and foxes, her heart untouched by the violence spreading beyond the trees. But when humankind ignites a brutal war against the magical races, even the sanctuary of the woods can no longer protect her. Leading the charge against the human tide is the Iron Fang-chieftain of the orcs, a warrior feared across continents. Hardened by loss and forged in the fires of countless battles, he knows only conquest... until fate places a quiet elf in his path. As blood is spilled and kingdoms fall, a bond begins to form between two enemies shaped by vastly different worlds. What begins in silence grows into something fierce-something forbidden. Love. Bound by destiny and torn by duty, Luner and the Iron Fang must choose between the war that divides them and the fragile hope that could unite their people. A sweeping tale of love in the shadow of war, Luner and the Iron Fang is a story of tenderness and strength, of two souls brave enough to change the world-together.

"He was a Dragon King bound by vengeance. She was an Elf Princess born to heal-not to love a monster."

"Touch Her and Die" vibes-Valtherian's possessive rage vs. Sylmara's quiet defiance. Political intrigue, dragon battles, and elf lore woven with slow-burn romance.

COMPLETE #1 in Fantasy #1 in Adventure #1 in Historical Fiction ---------- Sometimes, believing helps us to see truth. Other times, we need a little evidence to believe. But there is truth behind everything; every false manoeuvre, ever little lie...a small piece of truth is hidden. Just like truth is wound into legends too. Growing up best friend to the future King, Arabelle never really thought her life could go wrong. Whenever she wanted something, or needed something, she would get it. Then she lost her father at a young age and Arabelle was forced into a world of dresses, balls, and lies. Being a tomboy, Arabelle would have rather been out on her horse doing archery practice with her brothers. When Arabelle gets curious and sneaks into a forbidden area of the castle, she discovers a deadly secret: her bloodline is sacred, dating back to a legend surrounded by the one thing she knows not to be true. Unsure what to do, she gets caught up in a series of events that lead to her being hidden and whisked away from the only familiar place she knew. After making some unlikely allies, Arabelle sets off on a journey to find the legend of the last dragon egg. Fate has something big in store for her; will she be able to withstand the pressure of it all?There is one thing Arabelle needs to learn to survive this new place...
