For The Sword
"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series
The Gilded Crown
For over a thousand years, the Aether--supernatural beings of immense power-have ruled over the fractured remains of humanity. Vampires of the Velkyn Court, fae of the Thornspire, werewolves of the Ashfang Legion, and the dragon-bonded of Sky's End formed the Celestial Body, a royal court of high-born dominance. At its center stands House Virelion, the golden-blooded Celestials, rulers of the empire and stewards of ancient aetheric magic. Humanity, once sovereign, now survives in the ashes-pushed to the outskirts, scarred by exile, and branded as lesser. But not broken. Among them is Rhosyn Holloway, a girl from the dust-ridden fringes known as the Children of Cinder-a growing human rebellion. When her brother is recruited into a mission to infiltrate The Astrium Ball, a sacred eclipse gala in the capital city of Andromeda, Rhosyn is dragged into a plan that could change everything: infiltrate the palace, kidnap the bonded of the Crown Prince, and strike at the heart of power. Except... she is the bonded. Prince Constantino Virelion was bred for power-trained in fire, air, water, and earth; gifted with telepathy and command of the Aether itself. But when the Solstice brings their fates together, he finds his bonded not among the noble bloodlines of the Celestial Body-but in a human girl who was never meant to step foot in his world. Torn between duty and desire, loyalty and uprising, Rhosyn and Constantino are pulled into a storm of ancient powers, political betrayal, and forbidden love. All while dark forces stir beneath the gilded halls of Andromeda. As the eclipse converges and the crown gleams ever brighter, the battle for the future begins-between those born in gold... and those forged within a gilded cage.
