Whispers of the Aether Realm by YusakiWritesBooks

In a world where magic is woven into the very fabric of reality, the kingdom of Valoria thrives under the rule of King Aeron and Queen Selene. But the peace is fragile, disrupted by a series of unsolved murders that shatter the foundation of trust in the royal court. The culprit? An ancient power hidden in the shadows, manipulating events and preying on the darkest corners of human desire. Princess Arabelle, the kingdom's bold and fiercely independent heir, is drawn into the mystery when someone close to her is murdered. As she partners with the enigmatic Commander Raiden-a brooding warrior with a tortured past-she uncovers dark secrets about the kingdom, the throne, and her own bloodline. Together, they must navigate a web of lies, treachery, and forbidden magic, while battling their growing attraction for each other. With each murder, the kingdom edges closer to a civil war, and the whispers of an otherworldly force stir in the Aether Realm, a shadowy dimension tied to the fate of Valoria. Arabelle and Raiden must uncover the killer before the ancient magic consumes them all, but not everyone in the court wants the truth to come to light. In this blend of fantasy, romance, and a twisting murder mystery, alliances will shift, hearts will be tested, and the darkest forces will rise from the ashes of the past. Will love conquer the shadows, or will the Aether Realm claim them all?
