For all the goody two shoe girls who romanced Minthara Baenre, This is for you ;)
In a world where the oppressive Fidelis Order governs all aspects of life through a rigid control of ancient magic, Ayenna, a young disciple cast out for her crimes against the sect, stumbles into a dangerous conspiracy. While on a journey to redeem herself, she inadvertently binds herself to a mysterious woman named Nilvi, a former member of the rebellion.
Bound by a magical link that intertwines their fates, Ayenna and Nilvi must navigate a web of secrets, betrayals, and growing tensions within the rebel group they find themselves allied with. Along the way, they uncover ancient ruins and mythical markings that may hold the key to dismantling the Fidelis Order's power.
As Ayenna grapples with her burgeoning connection to forbidden magic and the painful truths about her own identity, she is forced to confront not only the Sect but also the deepening personal conflicts within the group. Nilvi's dark past, haunted by betrayal and regret, slowly unravels, threatening to destroy any hope of trust between them.
Caught between the fight for freedom and the mysterious forces guiding her, Ayenna must decide where her loyalties lie-and whether she can trust Nilvi with her heart, or if Nilvi's secrets will lead them all to ruin.
A violent passion. A dangerous bond. A nightmare that will change everything.
To Ava, love is about as real as fairytales. But it might be that fairytales, myths, and magic have some truth to them after all - as well as the monsters that lie in the shadows. Or she could just be completely out of her mind.
After a mental breakdown and a move to a new town, everything changes when Ava clashes with a stranger with eyes as black as midnight and a terrifying sinister air. Her wishes to feel something again become granted. But Ava soon learns that not only is he as cold as he is beautiful, but he brings something out of her, stronger than ever, like fuel to fire - something she's desperate to bury. He haunts her dreams and waking life, and staying away becomes harder than she could have ever imagined, risking her life, her humanity, and the people that she cares about. Not to mention the fate of the world.
She's fighting for life. He's fighting for death.
What does it take to live? What does it take to love?
