Secrets spell trouble for a group of trainees threading their way through a minefield of rivalries, conflicting loyalties, and betrayals in the capital and beyond. Trainee Song-hee's repaying an honor debt to a local gang nearly costs a teammate his life. Meagre forgiveness leaves Song-hee isolated, his warnings unheeded, as the team heads into trouble at their mentor's country estates. While the team's reputation grows, hiding the prince-to-come in their midst may break them.
Welcome back to the Kingdom of Coranna where competing internal factions are played by neighboring empires, and where a small band of trainees strives to shore up the previous generation's fraying peace accords. The group's unique talent to mobilize crystal energy draws unwanted attention as they struggle to find harmony with each other.

Welcome to Lesou
The first day at a new boarding school can be hard. Settling in at his uncle's school became more challenging for Park Junseo when his new roommate needed protection. Before long, strange powers reveal an uncomfortable truth. This stand-alone, short story continues the Crystal Accords adventures in the imagined kingdom of Corinna. It gives another perspective on the intersection of politics and magic in this world. Honestly, the whole series started as a vague type of fanfic therapy for my K-drama/boyband obsessions. It grew into something else all together. I need to get back to more of my work-a-day sort of writing so hope this will hold you for a bit. I will start posting volume two in spring 2022. Until then....Fair Winds. A.L.Complete
