It's been ten long years.
The years have been long and hard on the three kingdoms. The people that once had hope for the end of the war in a peaceful manner only have their prayers to rely on. Phaepyr has the upper hand and with King David of Luxtene falling ill, time is running out. The stakes have never been higher than now.
No amount of soldiers could fight their way out of this. The end of the war in Phaepyr's favor is months away. The world's only hope of survival rests in the hands of a little girl.
Anjiila.
While she knows little of the war, she has a guardian who knows just how cruel and unfair the world can be. He's been residing far in the woods, away from all those he once knew. Every moment since the day she was born, he has spent practicing his techniques, skills, and plans that he would someday use when the time was right. Phoenix, while hesitant, is more than ready now. He won't let anything happen to her.
He lost one woman he loved.
He won't let it happen again.

Shadows of the Abyss
[Sequel to Light of the Heavens] (Posting to RoyalRoad) The Phoenix Queen died in the ashes of her birth, they say, and all traces of her life remain a mystery lost under cover of darkness. Empires shift on their thrones, eagerly watching for advantage. In the north, Miroslav the Wise has sent soldiers and blood mages to breach an ancient bastion of magic known to most as the Vale of the Undying. They assemble like pieces on a wizard's chess board, but little do they know that there hides in the stillness of elven woods an echo of a wrath that almost destroyed the world. The exarchs are moving, reinvigorated by the recovery of a devoted servant, one whose soul swims in the Devouring Dark. To walk along those shadowed, maze-like forest paths is madness or worse. The powers within have shaken off the stupor of ages and lay in wait for the brave and the brilliant, for the fools and false-hearted. For a fire-speaker chasing a lost spark of love, an orc warrior facing his past, a mage hand-picked by the Wise, and her two devoted spellguards, the pressure is on to save what they love before the icy maw of Winter can rob them of everything. **Trigger-warning for abuse.**
Cursed by Fire
In a realm ruled by elemental factions, fire and shadow have been at war for centuries. The Fire Court and the Shadow Court are bitter enemies-each blaming the other for a devastating war that once shattered the realm. When a political truce demands cooperation, a powerful fire wielder and a cunning shadow assassin are forced to work together to prevent a catastrophe that could destroy them both. But power isn't the only thing burning between them. Main Characters: Kael Emberbane (Fire Court) * Age: 28 * Appearance: Bronze skin, glowing amber eyes, fiery red-gold hair, and flame-shaped tattoos that pulse with power. * Personality: Arrogant, passionate, loyal to his people. Prone to anger, but deeply wounded from a past betrayal. * Abilities: Pyrokinesis, fire immunity, combat expert. * Motivation: Protect his kingdom at any cost-and uncover the truth behind his brother's mysterious death, allegedly at the hands of the Shadow Court. Lyra Vexshade (Shadow Court) * Age: 26 * Appearance: Pale skin like moonlight, obsidian-black hair, violet eyes that shift with emotion, always cloaked in dark silks. * Personality: Cold, clever, strategic. Hides pain behind sarcasm and silence. * Abilities: Shadow-walking, illusions, silent kills. * Motivation: Free her people from the curse of eternal twilight-and avenge her mother, who was burned alive by fire mages when Lyra was a child.Complete

Crowned in Flame and Storm (Scentmarked #2)
The war is over-but the battle for peace has just begun. Lightning dragon Zavarielis Voltren has fought for her people's future, but now the fate of dragons and humans rests on a fragile political gamble. In the human capital, a Regency vote will decide the kingdom's next ruler-and whether peace will hold or burn. At her side is Esoti Thornecairn, a human fire mage whose strength-and something more-stirs beneath the surface. The bond between them blazes brighter than ever, yet new power comes with new dangers. Not all dragons welcome him among them... and not all humans are willing to see dragons in their council halls. When political rivals turn to assassins and ancient enemies stir beneath the earth, Zavi and Esoti must walk separate paths to secure an alliance that could change the realm forever. She will face the dragon hordes, he will face truths that could alter everything they thought they knew-and together they must face the firestorm that threatens to destroy everything they've fought for. But in a court where every smile hides a blade, even love may not be enough to save them. ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Crowned in Flame and Storm is the second book in the Scentmarked series.

Ride or die. Those are her options. However, the longer she survives, the more she feels that maybe... Just maybe she might have a shot, maybe even bond a dragon, find some friends. The longer she survives, the more she questions her past, one she always thought she knew, but now...? She needs to figure out who she is and how she fits into this rebellion war around her. •§• Takes place during Iron Flame (Book 2 of The Empyrean Series - "Fourth Wing" - by Rebecca Yarros- all rights of the world and her characters ext to her) *will have Iron Flame and Onyx Storm spoilers*
