When Aleta Kami's father dies in a horrific accident, she vows to never tell the truth to the Kingdom's Empress.
After years of successfully concealing her magical powers she is ousted, and the power hungry Empress with genocide on her mind entraps her as a weapon.
In a Kingdom forsaken by the stars and gods, Aleta is thrown into a quest with an old friend, a new enemy, and a confidant shrouded in mystery.
Along the way she learns the truth about the gods and the stars - and unveils a web tying her to the tyrant Empress.
But to save herself, her loved ones, and the people of her land, Aleta must come to terms with the truth - a task harder than mastering her powers of telling truth from deception. She must chose to keep her vows and remain in the comforts of ignorance she once treasured at home... or to unveil her deeply harbored secrets and risk damnation for a life she never imagined.
Along the way, Aleta gains her footing, challenges her concept of faith, and must answer the age long question... What does she want? And has her wishes for a life changed?

Book Two of The Ashes of Edrathis Trilogy Everything she thought she knew was a lie. Blair Nightwyck was raised to hate monsters. To hunt them. To believe her parents were slaughtered by the Shifters who tore the world apart. But monsters wear many faces. And the blood running through her veins isn't pure - it's ancient. It's powerful. It's forbidden. Her father was General Thomas Rivers, the Dragon of Volaris. Her mother, Princess Lyra of Solaria, the daughter of the last Fae Queen. And Blair... is the lost heir of two extinct kingdoms. The truth is poison - and now it's in her hands. If she embraces it, she could raise Solaria from its ashes and restore the kingdom her mother died for. If she rejects it, she could destroy everything her father once fought to protect. And standing at the center of her war-torn heart is Malachi Ryerson - the man she swore to hate, the dragon she was taught to fear, and the king she was never supposed to love. He's shown her mercy when he should have killed her. He's bled for his people when the world branded him a monster. And he's the one secret she can't bury, no matter how deep she runs. As kingdoms prepare for war and truth becomes a weapon, Blair must decide which crown she will wear- the one forged by blood, or the one forged by fire. Because love may save her kingdom... or burn it to the ground.Complete
