Since Esmera was abandoned on a stranger's doorstep as a baby, the only person who has looked out for her is herself.

Until a lark starts visiting her, leaving behind exotic flowers and iridescent pebbles that the internet doesn't recognise. 

Esmera can't believe her eyes when she recognises the lark in a painting in a museum. Her investigation takes her to the home of the museum owner, Tauram - a man who is more than he seems. 

When a magical force summons Esmera and Tauram to Milatanur, the hidden kingdom that is their home, they have no choice but to answer the call. 

Soon, it is not their decades-long betrothal that binds them but feelings they must ignore for the sakes of their fractured pasts and precarious futures. 

Around them, nature rebels under the unjust rule of a cruel sorcerer, threatening to engulf Milatanur. The formidable King Ruagu has spies everywhere, and those who aren't on his side turn to it out of fear.

Loyalty will rot into betrayal, blood will be paid, and Esmera will be presented with her destiny to wield a weapon of unparalleled power.

But only if she can elude her dark past long enough.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

SONG OF THE SOUL-BOOK 1 Changed from an accident and labeled as an outcast, Kohryn has lived a life of uneasy peace. The mountain is quiet, she knows her place, and her fellow villagers ignore her. For the most part. But when a man from across the seas shows up and begins breaking unspoken rules, she and her small world start to change. And as her discomfort grows something awakens in her dreams, leaking into reality and drawing the attention of floral gods and crusaders. Finding herself thrown into a world of challenges, desire, power, and will; everyone seems to have some want or need for her. As much as she may wish otherwise, being raised to passively live under the control of others is hard conditioning to break. And with everything happening faster than she can change, she must choose who to trust and who to allow the power to lord over her growing abilities ______WHAT TO EXPECT-Inspired by xianxia, horror, high-fantasy, and classic plot-driven reverse harem. Diverse characters, plentiful povs, high fantasy world full of creatures and races of all kinds. Action, magic, a little steam and a lot of tension. MM, MMFM, FMF, + more. (light on smut. oh its in there; but sex isn't a driving force of the plot.) CONTENT WARNING- EXPLICIT LANGUAGE, GRAPHIC VIOLENCE(torture and gore), SEXUAL CONTENT(graphic depictions of heterosexual and alternative relationships, smut, NO Sexual violence or assault, mild harassment.) ***probably edit and re-upload later. But here is the finalized draft.***
