*Book 2 of The Shadowmarked Legacy*
As Eryndor rebuilds under the rule of its new queen Selene begins her most personal dangerous mission yet-finding a way to free Kaelen from the realm of in-between where he is trapped, paying the dark debt of his magic. But the search for answers leads her into the shadowed depths of forbidden magic, where each step threatens to unravel her own soul. Old prophecies hint at a costly solution, but Selene is willing to face any consequence to bring Kaelen back.
Meanwhile, word of Eryndor's new queen-one with no direct royal bloodline-has reached the neighboring kingdom of Alneth, where a ruthless ruler sees this as an opportunity to seize Eryndor for himself. As political intrigue and the looming threat of war grow, Selene finds herself pulled between her loyalty to Eryndor, her duty to the council, and her need to save Kaelen.
But her heart is far from settled. With Kaelen caught in the veil between life and death, her bond with Taren has deepened in ways she never expected. As she fights to free Kaelen, she is forced to confront her growing feelings for both men-Kaelen, her mentor who sacrificed everything, and Taren, her childhood sweetheart.

THE WITCH'S HEIR (The Witch's Crown #1)
Queen Natalya Kastillion fought a war to reclaim her throne and restore magic to a world that had spent a century trying to silence it. Twenty years after her ascension to the throne, the kingdom she rebuilt has entered an age of unprecedented prosperity. Magic is revered once more, and dragons rule the skies. Elves, druids, and ancient creatures once driven into hiding now walk openly among mortals. But magic was never meant to be caged, or released without consequence. Now Natalya rules, with the family she fought to protect beside her, including her son, Prince Kaelen, heir to everything she built. Raised on stories of his mother's victories, and trained in magic, politics, and combat, Kaelen has spent his life preparing for the crown. But neither of them is prepared for what comes next. An ancient darkness over five centuries old has returned. The Dark One, a being thought lost to legend, threatens to step into the world. From her very essence come her children, the Princes of Death, powerful beings whose arrival threatens to unravel the peace Natalya spent decades creating. As old powers awaken, and alliances begin to fracture, dragons claim the skies, and armies march across the realm, while enemies emerge from unexpected places. For Natalya, the war is a reminder that victory never comes without a price. But for Kaelen, and the family who will inherit her kingdom, it is a lesson in what that price truly means. Because restoring magic brought the wonder of an ancient world back with it. But it also brought the darkness too. For a Queen's war won a kingdom, but it is family that will determine whether it survives.
