In a world where ancient magic lingers beneath the surface and steam-powered inventions shape the future, Selene, a cloaked assassin with a dark past, and Taren, a rogue inventor with a heart full of secrets, must confront forces beyond their control.

When Selene's hidden power draws the attention of a ruthless faction bent on awakening a forgotten darkness, she finds her only ally is Taren, a daring engineer whose brass and clockwork creations may hold the key to their survival-but trusting him could be as dangerous as the enemies they face.

As the line between light and shadow blurs, Selene and Taren are pulled into a web of intrigue, betrayal, and forbidden magic. With enemies closing in from every direction, they must uncover the truth behind an ancient prophecy that links them both-and make impossible choices before the darkness consumes them.All Rights Reserved

Cassandra never believed in magic-until she woke up with wings. One moment, she's living her ordinary life in London. The next, she's stranded in a mysterious, ancient realm brimming with danger and beauty beyond imagination. As she grapples with her new reality, one thing becomes clear: there's no way home. Trapped in a world where myths are real and every corner holds a secret, Cassandra discovers she has powers tied to this land-powers she never knew existed. And she's not the only one interested in them. A brooding stranger with dark, haunting eyes seems to know more about her fate than he lets on, and as danger mounts, their connection deepens in ways neither can deny. Now, Cassandra must choose: fight to return to her old life or embrace the magic of this new world-and the powerful destiny waiting for her. But in a realm where nothing is as it seems, the greatest threat may be the one lurking deep within herself. Welcome to a world of forbidden power, treacherous secrets, and a fate that could change everything.

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?

"And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind.
