For generations, the Fae of Vexar have woven cruelty into the essence of The Awakening, combining ritual and history into a tapestry of what they deem normal. Through Avelon's eyes- the rituals were nothing short of murder. Standing up for what Avelon believes is right, she goes against her lineage and refuses to partake in anything the continents have set out. In doing so, Avelon lands herself in a whole new position- slavery.
A darkness is brewing, bigger than the awakening and the continents. Avelon is determined to stop it.

Eliana, Princess of Evindel, owes it to her Kingdom to end the ice storms by convincing their strongest alliance, Prince Aelric of Aerandale, to propose and unite through marriage. This is a forced union by The Red Dragon, a new God, that struck up a deal with Evindel's ancestors centuries ago to give the Evindel Kingdom power and wealth in exchange for blood sacrifices and offerings. Once Eliana marries Aelric, she can convince the entire province of Gaelthar that the old Gods are gone, and the only true God is The Mighty One, The Red Dragon. However, while courting Aelric, Eliana is soul-searching after coming of age. As she gets closer to Aelric, she can't help but feel an intense pull towards her personal guard, James. Although having any relations with the royal guard is forbidden, they both find it impossible to deny. Early on, she finds that her parents are keeping secrets from her. Little does she know, her parents aren't the only ones withholding information. Who else is keeping things from her? Who else is betraying her? Throughout the book, Eliana fights demons in her closet and shadows in her room, unravels secrets, meets numerous suitors, has constant nightmares, and, most of all, is tempted.

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.
