In the cursed land of Eldralis, wildflowers bloom as symbols of hope-yet even their petals cannot escape the cruel hand of fate.
Liora, a spirited girl from a quiet village, has always dreamed of freedom beyond her meadow home. Caelan, her childhood friend with secrets as deep as the tower's roots, shares those dreams. But when a prophecy surfaces, declaring Liora as the chosen sacrifice to break the kingdom's ancient curse, her idyllic life shatters.
Forced to journey to the heart of Eldralis with Caelan and his noble best friend, Rowan, Liora discovers that her parents have hidden the truth of her fate-and her destiny is darker than she ever imagined. As their bond deepens, forbidden love blooms between Liora and Caelan, defying the prophecy and the gods themselves.
But destiny has a way of claiming its due, and sacrifices must be made. With the fate of Eldralis hanging in the balance, Liora and Caelan must face betrayal, divine wrath, and their own hearts to uncover a truth that will either save their world-or doom them all.
When the wildflowers fade, the truth will bloom. And love may not survive it.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
We Who Lie
He was the bastard prince no one wanted. She was the bard girl who gave him her heart. Now he's king- and the first thing he did was outlaw stories. Lyra Lightfoot once believed in fairy tales. She believed in love, in music, in Cyril Abecassis- the second-born prince with ink-stained fingers and a wounded heart. But power changes people, and Cyril didn't just take the throne of Xena; he's begun to destroy everything they once held dear. Authors are vanishing. Magic is hunted. A boy is burned for reading a book. And Lyra? She's running for her life with Arthur, a battle-scarred magician whose heart bleeds ink and fire. But Cyril is not done with her-not by a long shot. Because beneath his cruelty is a secret only she knows, a monstrous truth wrapped in soft promises and broken wrists. To save the kingdom, Lyra must dig through the ruins of the boy she loved and decide whether he can still be saved-or if she must become the villain in their story. A haunting tale of forbidden magic, fractured love, and the cost of telling the truth shows humanity at its lowest point- and how far one could go for a lost soul.
