MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥

In the kingdom of Aeziris, a rebellion is rising, but its reins are not in the hands of its citizens. With a fine string entwining her heart with that of its chieftain, Esméralda must walk a knife-edge while navigating her way through a palace of masks and smiles that stab, and maybe just not lose her all in the process. •°• Book #1 in 'of aether' duology. Esméralda Alby has been hammered two things her whole life. One, she is beneath her step-sister; two, to work like a machine. Despite being the first-born daughter of a wealthy merchant, she is never introduced as such, let alone be treated with its honor. After her mother's death, the word love, for her, resonated with the hollow of meaninglessness until she met him, a charismatic man with a persistent aura of mystery. Eirik, the blossom to her flower, the blue to her sky - he who brought spring to her wilting life. He isn't a king as his name suggested, but to her, he had become hers. But when her father's orchards get infected, drastically dwindling their income, Esméralda is forced to leave to the palace to work as a handmaiden for a lady of The Queen's Trial, an event hosted to choose a suitable wife for the Crown Prince of Aeziris. It was supposed to be a job freeing her from the chains of the past, but how long could she stay sane when Eirik stands in front of her as the only heir to the throne of Aeziris, as Crown Prince Aedric Emsworth? There might just be more to the rebellion than what met the eye.Complete
