For Lucy Auclair, an unimportant palace maid, her only escape from reality existed in a quill and a faded leather-back journal. Thirteen uninspiring years had passed without a single unique experience, unless one truly considered scrubbing floors, turning out chamber pots, and calloused, water-soused fingers exhilarating. This inescapable plight made improving her station in Merthingham, a theocratic and unbending society, as good as impossible.

Millenniums told of the kingdom's unrivaled ascendancy-a direct consequence of their being the closest realm to the Gods. Merthingham seemed indestructible. However, when a force with which they cannot contend emerges, threatening centuries of dominion over the divine realms, Lucy Auclair proves to be the kingdom's uncompromisable asset. She becomes the last thing she'd ever imagined herself being. Moreover, with a carnal future king and an abominable warlord competing for her affections, this monotonous maid may very well leave her mark in history-outside of her secret writings.

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.
