In a kingdom where magic is outlawed and sorcerers are hunted, assassin Mira Everstar is no stranger to death. Trained to kill, haunted by her past, and bound to the shadows, she's lived by one rule: trust no one.
But when a dangerous artifact-the Obsidian Crown-resurfaces, Mira is forced into a deadly game between a ruthless king, a rebel prince, and ancient magic that should have stayed buried. With her shadow magic stirring and her enemies closing in, Mira must decide: will she become the kingdom's savior-or its destruction?
Betrayal lurks behind every smile, and power comes at a deadly price. In a world of stolen crowns and broken promises, the darkness might just claim her first.

Tales of the Vangen: The Black Ministry's Betrayal (Book 1)
[Completed] The Royal Guard of the Empire has faithfully served Byzantia for nearly three centuries now. Hand picked from foreign lands, these guardsmen hold no political ties, carry no agendas, and bare no creeds except to those who sit upon the Onyx Throne. They are vanguards, protectors, loyalists. They are Vangen. Change has come to the Empire. An Empress sits upon the throne now, destroying any who would rebel against her with both fire and iron. To the east, her loyal Vangen work to quash the newest rebellion, until a letter arrives one day, marked with the Empresses seal. The contents within bare only dread and disturbance for the Guardsmen. The Black Ministry, the former Emperor's cabal of Sorcerers, have turned against the Empress. The Vangen's return is bittersweet. The city they once called home is now a battlefield, every street a choke-point. Every home a possible nesting ground for rebels. The Royal Guard will have to fight tooth and nail to put down the Ministry and protect the Empress, but the deeper they go, the harder the lines begin to blur. In a world where good and evil does not exist, where then does a man's loyalty lie? (Comments and Feedback are always appreciated)Complete

When Victor-the exiled prince with eyes of war and winter-steps out of the shadows, Isolde's carefully constructed world begins to collapse. Because he knows what she's done. Because he remembers the revolution their fathers died for. Because he's come to finish what was started. And this time, the dead are watching.
