When the world was tethering on the edge of absolute destruction, four powerful witches came together and created a spell that gave immense powers of the elements to four human families. They granted them the ability to gain power from and control the earth, fire, wind, and water. The elements of fire and water were most strong, with their magic overpowering that of the earth and wind.
A kingdom was formed and magical borders were created around it. The Mollo family, given the power of fire, were to rule, but soon the River family, with control over water, went into battle with them. The kingdom was divided into two, and a feud to last generations created between the two.
Years later, when the magic in the kingdom begins to weaken, the descendants of the two families and sworn enemies from birth, Mora Mollo and Kai River, are tasked with venturing beyond the borders and finding the remedy to their fleeting powers.

Flame and Ice
In a world divided by fire and ice, two kingdoms stand locked in eternal war. To the south lies Arden, a realm forged from molten stone and searing flame, where warriors wield fire as both weapon and faith. To the north rises Lysandria, a glittering empire of frost and snow, where sorcerers bend ice and storm to their will. For centuries, their hatred has burned and frozen the land alike, rooted in an ancient myth that declared " Fire and Ice must never unite, or the world itself will fall". Kael Arden, known as the Flameborn, is a commander of unrivalled strength and the heir of Adren's throne. Hardened by war, his life is bound to duty, steel and fire. Ariella Lysandra, a princess and ice-sorceress, is as graceful as she is dangerous. Her beauty is glacial, her power feared, and her heart guarded by generations of enmity. When fate forces them together against a rising darkness-an ancient force that threatens to consume both kingdoms- Kael and Ariella must fight side by side. Bound by a magical oath, their lives become entwined: if one falls, so does the other. But as fire and frost collide, hatred gives way to something far more perilous: desire. Every glance ignites forbidden sparks, every touch blurs the line between enemy and lover. To love each other means to defy kingdoms, gods, and centuries of blood-soaked history. In a land where fire devours and ice destroys, can their passion forge a new destiny- or will it shatter their world forever?
The Eighth Dawn
For a thousand years, eight divine bloodlines have ruled the world - each descended from a god, each born with a fragment of their creator's power. Light and Shadow. Fire and Water. Air and Earth. Dream and Reality. Bound together by creation - divided by pride. When the Kindgoms of Light and Shadow ignite the War of Dawns and Dusk, the world fractures in their wake. Sunfire razes coasts. Nightfall consumes cities. The other six kingdoms take sides, turning divine magic into weapons. But far beyond the stars, something older than the gods stirs. In a dying world where even the stars are fading, the last heirs must decide: will they defend the empires that raised them - or surrender their divine birthright to restore the balance that began all things?

Suddenly finding herself thrust into the war between her deities and her enemies, Khionia must work to discover the reality within the ingrained deception around her while trying to accept what, as well as who, is in her soul.Complete
