The Dagger of Eden
In the heart of the crime-ridden Ancien City, Anjali Isa has mastered the art of stealth and murder. A deadly daggerman with the infamous Assassin Guild, she is one of the six killers serving the highest bidder in a city where secrets are currency, and betrayal is the norm. But when a new contract arrives-an assassination on the prince of Fastus, the richest and most powerful of the six magical Sila kingdoms-everything changes. The Sila kingdoms, thriving with their magic and wealth, have long turned their backs on the human lands, which are ravaged by poverty, war, and disaster. The Sila people possess unparalleled abilities and have closed their borders, leaving humans to suffer. Anjali's mission is simple: kill the prince and destabilize the kingdom. Anjali is forced to go undercover within the walls of the Fastus kingdom. But the prince, Kal, is no fool. He quickly discovers who she is, and instead of ordering her death, he turns their cat-and-mouse game into a twisted battle of wills, a contest where each must outwit and outlast the other-whoever survives wins, but neither is ready for what's about to unfold. As Anjali navigates the glittering yet deadly world of court politics, she finds herself entangled in a web of lies, manipulation, and murder. Fastus is unraveling from the inside out, and its once-glorious Tree of Vita, a sacred symbol of the kingdom's prosperity, begins to wither and die. Kal is desperate to uncover why the tree is dying and what dark force is eating away at his kingdom's lifeblood. With every passing day, secrets come to light, and enemies close in. Anjali is torn between her loyalty to the Assassin Guild and her growing understanding of the Sila. Between a kingdom on the brink of collapse and a prince who seems to know her better than anyone else, Anjali must decide where her true allegiance lies-and if she can find a way to stop the destruction she was hired to unleash.Complete

Over the course of the story, they uncover sinister and corrupted branches of magic wielded by hidden enemies bent on destroying their kingdom.

Vilos, puppeteers who believe the greatest power one can have is control over the minds of others. Illis, granted influence over all creatures both mundane and magical. Kamrion, capable of moulding magic in its rawest form. An unstable peace has existed between the five northern kingdoms ever since the fall of the South. Fearing that this tenuous peace is about to come to an end a union of marriage is formed between the quick-witted Finnian Northguard of Kamrion and the poised Luthera Revena of Illis in hopes of quelling any potential uprisings. On the night of Finnian and Luthera's wedding, Kamrion is attacked by a creature seemingly born from the most perverse and unnatural schools of magic. After the attack, Finn and Luthera hesitantly form an alliance, agreeing to combine their respective abilities and find the people responsible for the creatures' creation. Allied with them are Finn's siblings, Kaius and Gertrude along with the Veiled Ones, Kamrion's network of spies who operate separately from the affairs and influence of the crown. Finn and Luthera become closer as they delve deeper into the origins of the creatures that attacked Kamrion and uncover layers of conspiracy and betrayal that threaten to bring about the end of Kamrion. They must navigate this new and dangerous landscape carefully while also striving to avoid drawing the attention of the equally revered and feared Celestial Order.Complete

Ruthless, cunning, and unyielding, she wields her power with precision, a perfect weapon molded by her father, King Mario.

Across the ruined lands of Eldrid, Prince Kairen burns with hatred. The last surviving heir to a kingdom destroyed by Arcanvale, he has spent years honing his strength and strategy, preparing for the day he would take his revenge.

But as Alethea uncovers secrets about her family's dark past and the blood-soaked pact that binds their kingdoms, she and Kairen are forced to confront a terrifying truth: their fates are intertwined in ways neither could have foreseen.
