In the book 'Whispers Of The Cruels" in the ancient city of Eldoria, where magic wove through every corner, the Obsidian Quarter was notorious for its shadows and secrets. Here, the Cruels, beings of shadow led by Seraphina Blackthorne, held sway. Young apothecary Alaric Stoneheart stumbled upon a blackened book of dark magic and, sucked in by its power, was drawn into Seraphina's world. Meeting Lyra, a spirited young woman who had lost her family to the Cruels, Alaric is challenged to confront his dark path.

26 parts Ongoing
Hope is as rare as water in a kingdom of sun-scorched sands and ancient walls. Princess Ilaria of Sigyn is poised to secure peace for her desert kingdom through an arranged marriage to Prince Godred, the ruler of a rival land. But when a shadowy assassin nearly takes her life, her plans-and her trust in those around her-crumble like desert dust. Forced into hiding on the distant island of Zospery, she finds herself under the protection of Lord Alaric Voss, a man as cold and unyielding as the sea cliffs that guard his home. Alaric is known as the Devil of the Spire, a relentless warrior with a reputation for cruelty and a heart as closed off as the fortress he commands. Yet, beneath his rigid exterior lies a past scarred by loyalty and loss, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep the princess alive-even if it means standing against the forces that seek to silence her forever. As enemies close in and the line between duty and desire blurs, Ilaria must confront a harsh truth: her greatest danger may not be the assassins lurking in the shadows, but the man who stands beside her, guarding secrets that could shatter everything she's fought to protect. But the more she learns about the unyielding knight, the more she sees glimpses of a depth that calls to her, even as her own resolve hardens into something far less forgiving. In the shifting sands of war and whispered betrayals, two souls clash-one desperate to keep hope alive, the other burdened by a past he cannot escape. And as threats loom from all sides, Ilaria and Alaric will have to decide whether they can truly trust one another... or if the secrets they keep will be the very things that tear them apart. -- COVER BY @THEWILDCYDE ONC 2024 SHORTLISTER

Nineteen-year-old Alara Wynthorne has spent her life trapped in the shadow of her family's tragic past, confined by the gilded cage of nobility. Longing for freedom and a purpose of her own, she stumbles upon her late father's journal, which whispers of the legendary Song of Ashes-a melody said to unlock the power of an ancient artifact, the Lyran Stone. But secrets are never safe, and neither are those who seek them. Torn between her controlling brothers, a forced betrothal, and a dangerous alliance with a mysterious enemy, Alara must decide how far she's willing to go to reclaim her destiny. In a world of shattered legacies, forbidden melodies, and enemies turned allies, will Alara find her voice, or will the past consume her?
