Princess Rowena has spent her entire life forging her own path. The last thing she wants to do is be forced into a loveless marriage for the sake of the crown, and has successfully managed to thwart off several suitors in her efforts. When she is given the ultimatum of either marrying for a political alliance, or step down as heir to her throne, she makes the decision that at least as queen, she can still advocate and be the voice for her people and her kingdom. Whisked away into an unwanted destiny, tragedy quickly finds its way into her land as her world is turned upside down.
King Alistair swings his sword with vengeance as he seeks to conquer those who have successfully taken everyone he's ever cared about from him. While his enemies proved unsuccessful in taking his crown, he has risen a kingdom from the spilled blood of both his people, and from those he has killed with his own hands in the process. In the wake of conquering one of his biggest enemies, he finds a princess just as ruthless as him, and who is willing to stop at nothing to save her people.
When their paths collide, they must navigate a treacherous journey of power, betrayal, and unexpected alliances. As the fate of their kingdoms hang in the balance, Rowena and Alistair must decide whether to follow their destiny predestined in the stars, or risk losing their hearts and everything they know with it.

She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover art by Erika De Luca on ArtStation This story if the first of a series Word Count: 147,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!

Fairytales were never meant for girls like her. Illyria was meant to be the jewel of her kingdom-a perfect bride locked away in a floating castle, guarded by a beast until a hero came to claim her. But. Unfortunately for everyone, Illyria has never been good at following the script... or staying put. With a emotion-driven magic and a dragon who cares more about snacks than savagery, her escape from the tower is anything but graceful. But freedom comes with a price. The prophecy tied to her whispers doom: if Illyria falls in love with the wrong man, kingdoms will crumble. And the wrong man is already watching. Lucien Duskbane- "The Villain" in every wrong stories - is dark, ruthless, and far too handsome for anyone's good-intended to use Illyria as a weapon.

Now, with a sparkly prince chasing her for marriage, a villain pursuing her, and an ever-growing trail of magical mayhem in her wake, Illyria must decide what kind of disaster she's willing to be-darling or deadly.
