In the lands of Eve, magic stirs within the blood of all who reside. There are lords and knights and queens and priestesses, and then there is everyone else - including the monsters that lurk, leaving behind trails of misery and terror.
Above them all, in the highest of courts, there is Her. The Dark Empress.
23 year old Esmeralda resides as a maiden to one of the empire's queens. Esmeralda's plain, quiet life changes when a powerful yet quiet lord, Myrrh, comes to court and chooses Esmeralda as his consort.
Dreams come true, it would seem at first for Esmeralda, but as the Dark Empress comes to take power of Myrrh's estate, the young dreamer's life is taken on another, entirely different path.

The Kingdom of Elvendor: Curse of the Forgotten
In a world where Elves and Vikings are bound in eternal conflict, two powerful kingdoms stand on the brink of war. But for Elowen, an orphan raised in the shadows of Elvendor's shining towers, the stakes are personal. Abandoned as a baby, she's learned to survive in a city that values power above all else, a city where she's nothing more than an invisible pawn in a game of magic and politics. On her eighteenth birthday, the Luminara ritual will determine her place in this world, either among the elite or cast back into the darkness. But Elowen is no ordinary elf. As the ritual unfolds, an ancient power stirs within her, a force older than the kingdom itself, pulling her into a dangerous web of secrets and lies. Caught between two worlds-one ruled by the privileged elves, the other by the fierce Vikings-Elowen finds herself torn between duty, love, and the dangerous unknown. Eirik, the Viking chieftain's son, should be her enemy. Yet his storm-gray eyes see through the label of "threat" that's been placed on her. But loving him would be treason. Denying him? A betrayal of her own heart. As tensions rise between the two kingdoms, a dark power awakens, threatening to consume them all. Elowen must navigate treacherous alliances, face an ancient enemy, and decide where her loyalties truly lie. But one thing is certain-she was born to shatter the boundaries of both worlds. In the end, no one, not the elves, not the Vikings, will be prepared for the storm she's about to unleash. ********* A new chapter is published every two days, so stay tuned for fresh twists and thrilling moments as Elowen's journey unfolds!
