Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

A princess, being swallowed by expectation, overlooked by those too loud to notice her pain. When fate binds them in an arranged marriage neither of them chose, it is meant to be a sentence. A punishment for her, a strategy for him. But behind guarded eyes and sharp silences, something begins to stir. He sees the quiet fire in her that no one else bothered to notice.

UnWritten
In a beautiful country as France, nothing can ever stay safe. For Lulianna Taylor, she made sure technology was her tool to keep everyone safe. The dead too- well, it used to be in her caliber. The ex-agent used to live with the dead, speak to them, study them. She dreamt of them once... -- A known agent who climbed the ranks at a young age to protect and serve, no one could excel the way Lulianna did. She thought that nothing can stop her until a gruesome case took place where it took her drive and the life of her partner with it. Left in shatters, the trauma from it made her run away from the limelight and out of the action. Not able to run from it fully, she decided it was better to be behind the screen and tell active agents where to go and what to do. Lulu's end-game was to just go behind a desk until retirement. The screen protected her from the reality of what her fellow co-workers faced. But will numbers really satisfy her needs? The wicked and selfish continue to lurk for an opportunity to take what they want. To keep them at bay, FRAIF or in longer terms, The First Response Agent Intelligence of France is a federal military sanction that keeps the morgue busy with bodies and tales. Their active agents are both trained with dealing foreign and internal attacks to where the ending will either be behind bars or in a grave. Now that a couple years have passed with her quiet plan in motion, she thought she can get by until retirement. But what happens if she gets summoned by the top woman upstairs? The director in close confidence chose Lulu as the head Strategist for a new operation that has many of the council objecting. How crazy of an idea is it to bring highly wanted ex-criminals, and choose their reforming ways into bringing justice to those FRAIF go after? With Lulu and a few others keeping well known assassins, gang members and mercenaries in check, nothing can go wrong, right?
