Kira, a timid bookstore owner's daughter, has always craved adventure. But she gets more than she bargains for when she discovers the king's dark secret: he steals life through a forbidden magic.

Thrust into a rebellion unlike any other, Kira joins a ragtag group of vengeance-fueled rebels led by the enigmatic Caleb. Whispers follow him - a savior, a monster? He holds the key to unlocking soul bonding, a power as beautiful as it is devastating. Can Kira trust him to wield this forbidden magic for good, or will he succumb to its corrupting influence?

Time is running out. Every day, young men vanish, sacrificed to fuel the king's twisted immortality. Can Kira master this forbidden magic before the next tribute claims her loved ones?

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

The Crimson Rebellion

21 parts Complete

In a world ruled by control, one girl was born free. Reyna Voss doesn't belong to anyone-not to the system, not to the Empire, and definitely not to the prince she just saved from execution. Hunted across war zones and underground cities, Reyna and Cael must unite rebels, evade deadly enforcers, and ignite a revolution. But when secrets unravel and betrayal cuts deep... Will love survive a war they were never meant to win? Or will the rebellion fall with them?
