She looked at the castle she used to call home, the walls she used to protect. She looked at it now with a burning hatred. With her sword gripped firmly, she took a step forward. She was out for blood, the blood of the man sat atop the throne. Long live His Majesty? Screw that. ******************* Girls can't be knights, but tell that to Alya Norwick, the knightess of Aerilion (well, ex-knightess that is). Growing up an orphan and raised by her kingdom's soldiers, she had all the training she could ever need to pledge her life to knighthood. But in a world where women merely existed to breed, she had to fight tooth and nail to earn the acceptance from the people of her kingdom, and from the cruel king who ruled it. That is, of course, until all her hopes and dreams came crashing down for one false accusation. Tried for treason and sentenced to death, Alya is faced with no choice other than to escape her fate or accept it. With her rage and hatred for the unjust King fueled, she's on a path to overthrow his monarchy once and for all. Forming unlikely alliances with deadly. fugitives, and uncovering century old secrets about her past, Alya has a whole lot of killing (and kissing) to do. This is the beginning of a war, and she is adamant on winning it. This time, the knightess of Aerilion won't be there to fend of her kingdom's uprising, she'll be the one leading it. ************************** Cover by artsylivia

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.
