The Blood of Two Worlds. The Cursed Prince.
In a realm fractured by flame, shadow, and prophecy, three ancient elven kingdoms-Elarindor, Syltherien, and Thalvanyr-stand at the edge of unraveling fate. Queen Aeryn of Thalvanyr has ruled in silence and strength, but a relic long buried beneath her mother's death-Velmorith, the Heart-that-Weeps-begins to stir. Whispered of in forbidden tongues, the relic does not just remember power; it mourns the cost of it. When it awakens, so do the ghosts of realms unseen. Eyssira, Aeryn's fierce and gifted sister, bears the Shadowbrand, a mark of flame and fate that links her to the First Ember beneath the mountain. She crosses into a forgotten world where myth breathes and a vampire king, Sorathos, guards a forest that bleeds memory and fruit. In his presence, she discovers a bond deeper than magic-and a danger older than death. But the veil between worlds is tearing. And what sleeps beyond it... remembers her name. As queens summon lost councils, trees fall silent, and ancient alliances fray, a prophecy awakens: one born of three thrones, destined to either heal the fracture between light and shadow-or destroy it. This is Book 2 of The Blood of Two Worlds series. If you haven't read Book 1: The Blood of Two Worlds. A Daughter's Light. A Realm Reborn, check it out on Amazon https://a.co/d/iY9pIpqComplete
Dance of the Damned
Four kingdoms. One hunted girl. Powerful rulers want her dead, but destiny has other plans-plans that could burn the world to ash. A thousand years after the world burned, four kingdoms rose from the ashes-ruled by immortal monarchs and guarded by shadows, fire, and blood. Venya has spent her life on the run, hiding what she is: a Grim. Monsters like her are executed without mercy. Branded dangerous, haunted by a violent past, and bound by magic that cannot hold forever, she knows survival is only temporary. When she is captured and thrown into the heart of the Dark Kingdoms, Venya finds herself entangled in a deadly game of power, betrayal, and forbidden desire. The rulers of this world would see her destroyed, yet the King of Death sees something else in her-a weapon... or a weakness. As war brews and loyalty is tested, Venya must decide: Will she embrace the darkness within her? Or will she fight to prove that monsters can choose their own fate? Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, slow-burn romance, and morally gray characters-Dance of the Damned will pull you into a world where love is dangerous, survival is bloody, and destiny is damning.

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.
