Book 1 in Swapped Fate series.
*
No one would expect those of the wealthy high society to mingle with the lowly and poor; not when it's for something as sacred as a marital bond. Lady Fate, however, seems to have differing views when she lands the orphaned Mavis right into the den of high society to become the daughter-in-law of the reputable and esteemed Devereux family.
Tristan, her soon-to-be husband, is a cocky and vexatious force to reckon with, whom she constantly butts heads with in a war of words, emotions and actions.
But when life-threatening situations are hurled their way and the Devereux family has upon its hands a set of recurring crises, the two quarrelbirds' only way to prevent its downfall might be....togetherness.
*
Some crossing swords, a bit of firing guns, adequate meeting of eccentric species and races, quite some touring of mystical lands with a heavy dose of the love potion.

Moonfire & Midnight Pt 2
Once the dazzling darling of the Court of Sorrow, Eirian's future is stolen when her father remarries and produces a male heir. Cast aside and exiled into a political marriage at the empire's volatile border, she expects to disappear quietly into irrelevance. Instead, she finds Chenzhou. Quiet, honorable, and already dying from a mysterious poison no one can name, Chenzhou has no interest in court politics-or in the wife forced upon him. But Eirian is not a woman who fades. As she pushes her magic into the land, restoring a dying estate, she begins to uncover the truth behind his illness-and the enemies gathering around them. It is through Chenzhou that she meets Mingzhe, a trusted figure from the court and one of the few men who moves easily between worlds. What begins as cautious cooperation grows into something rare: a fragile bond of trust between three people navigating power, loyalty, and survival in a court that has already discarded them. Together, they begin to rebuild-strengthening the borderlands, stabilizing Chenzhou's condition, and quietly resisting the forces working against them. But the deeper Eirian digs, the clearer the truth becomes. Chenzhou's illness is no accident. It is the foundation of a long-buried conspiracy within the powerful Yang family-one designed to reshape the empire itself. And Mingzhe, unknowingly entangled through years of quiet influence and misplaced trust, stands at the center of it. What began as loyalty becomes betrayal-not born of malice, but of manipulation-and its consequences threaten to destroy everything they have built. With war rising at the borders and treachery rooted deep within the court, Eirian and Chenzhou must decide whether trust can be rebuilt-or if survival demands something colder. It's the truth that might finish what it started.Complete
Veiled in Light and Ruin
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.
The Duchess of Ash and Thorn
Lady Seraphina Ashbourne, eldest of three daughters, has been the darling of the Season for three years-but she's turned down every proposal. She believes in love, not alliances, and no man has stirred her heart. When Lord Tristan Blackthorn, the illegitimate son of a powerful duke, arrives at her estate with a cold, calculated marriage proposal, Seraphina is insulted. She dismisses him as nothing more than a power-hungry social climber-and makes sure he knows it. Humiliated and infuriated, Tristan returns to the North with his pride wounded but his resolve stronger. He doesn't want a wife-but he needs one, or risk losing his inheritance to a younger half-brother who is favored by their father. When Seraphina's father, the Marquess of Ashbourne, falls gravely ill and their family's future is threatened, the only way to secure her sisters' futures and preserve the family name is through the very man she scorned. Thus begins a reluctant engagement-a forced marriage of convenience between a proud, idealistic lady and a hardened, bitter bastard nobleman. They despise each other. But fate-and love-have other plans.

Swords clash. Sparks fly. And somewhere between battles and bickering, a different kind of war begins-the one in their hearts. Expect: • Flirtations hidden under death threats • Accidental romantic confessions mid-fight • Melodramatic exits (and entries) by yours truly, Wei Ying • Wangji being emotionally constipated but somehow still hot • Forbidden magic, ancient secrets, and a love neither destiny nor war can deny Because destiny may have made them enemies-but fate?
