"With speed surpassing that of the master thief's, the assassin flicked his hand under mine and pulled me to him. My throat contracted on a strangled cry as he calmly drew a small blade from a sheath at his side. I struggled madly as he lifted it to my imprisoned wrist. He remained unfazed as I pummelled his arm, sobbing, and tried to twist away, but laughed, soft and low as the sharp metal sliced a deep line over my exposed wrist."
Narnun Valmera has been raised to hate all that is herself. A Rusticus (peasant), an orphan, skin of shimmering silver that none can explain and the descendant of an ancient "hero". Nothing seems to be right with her.
Navigating the world of Concordia, she endures every imaginable pain, but will she prove herself worthy of her ancestor's name? And will she ever succeed to love and not lose?
A story of betrayal, romance, assassins and the unexpected.

But when a raven-haired sorceress crashes into her world-burning through gangs, netrunners, and corporate lies-Rogue sees more than danger. She sees possibility. Profit. And a spark she can't ignore.

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. 🔥
