HYBRID OF THE FALLEN
Seraphina's world crumbled on her 18th birthday when her family's darkest secret was laid bare for the entire pack to see. Her mother had committed the ultimate sin-an affair with a Fallen, a tribe of fierce warriors with black wings, locked in a bitter feud with the werewolf kingdom. For that crime, her mother was burned at the stake, and Seraphina was cast aside by her father and sister, left to rot in the royal pack as nothing more than a slave. Her life became a cycle of pain, fear, and regret. Every night, she clung to the hope of her fated mate, the one person destined to love her. But when he appeared, he wasn't just anyone-he was the returning prince, the future king of the werewolves. And instead of saving her, he shattered her with rejection, disgusted by her tainted blood-half fallen, half wolf, an abomination. Broken, without a wolf, and branded a disgrace, Seraphina believed she had nothing left. Until the day she discovered the impossible truth-her second mate.

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.
