In the shattered world of Ethelorne, love is both a curse and a salvation. Bones and Graves are bound by a connection so powerful it could ignite galaxies-yet in a realm where soul ties are severed by the Gods' cruel design; their love must remain hidden behind false names and fragile allegiances. Ethelorne is a dystopia ruled by sixteen powerful families, where the remnants of magic are splintered, and entire races-dragons, fae, and mermaids-are pushed to the edges of survival.
Born into a bitter war between purists and sympathists, Bones and Graves navigate a world torn by division. In this society where nothing is black or white, only shades of blood and betrayal, they are caught between duty and desire. Yet, as their hearts yearn for one another, they know the cost of defying the order that was put in place to prevent total annihilation.
Amidst the backdrop of political intrigue and ancient wars, a steamy romance blossoms-dangerous, forbidden, and all-consuming. In a reality where love is seen as a threat, they must decide if their passion is strong enough to defy a broken system or if their destinies are doomed to be fractured by forces beyond their control.
Bones and Graves is a tale of dystopian worlds, shattered souls, and a romance transcending time and identity. In the darkness of oppression, only love can rewrite fate. Will they risk everything to find their proper names, or will the weight of the universe tear them apart forever?
Step into a world where no one is safe from the choices they make, and the ultimate battle is not between good and evil but between love and survival.
*They hated her at first... but they had no idea who she really was.*
...........
Serena Carter was just trying to live-trying to find peace in the mess that was her life. But one accident changed everything.
Abandoned. Alone. She was sent to live with the Morettis-four brothers and a father who wanted nothing to do with her. She was the reminder of their mother's biggest betrayal, the stain on their perfect legacy. Ten months. That's all she had to survive before she turned eighteen and walked away for good. Easy, right?
Wrong.
Because the Morettis might have convinced themselves they hated her, but hate was a tricky thing-it turned into obsession, into protectiveness, into something none of them were ready for. They thought they knew her, thought she was just a mistake that could be ignored.
They had no idea.
Because Serena had secrets-ones even she didn't fully understand. And in a world where power was everything, she was about to become the most dangerous piece on the board.
She wasn't just a mistake. She was a Moretti.
