In a world where souls can be stolen but never replaced, love and deception become a deadly game.
***
Elowyn Emberveil died at eighteen, consumed by flames that devoured her home in Grandcrest. But death wasn't the end. Rescued by the enigmatic Chooser, her soul was exiled to the Island of the Spared Souls-a purgatory for those not bound for eternal torment. Survival meant stealing: devouring human souls to inhabit their bodies. For 173 years, Elowyn has endured, her spirit trapped in the decaying body of a 90-year-old woman.
When a young, radiant girl arrives on the island, Elowyn sees her salvation. Consumed by desperation, she claims the girl's soul, unknowingly seizing the body of Princess Isabel Morrow, second in line to the kingdom of Ivor.
Returning to the royal city with Isabel's devoted knight-and former lover-Raven Sinclair, Elowyn finds herself entangled in a life she never wanted and emotions she's never known. As Raven's unwavering love for Isabel tugs at her fractured soul, Elowyn begins to wonder: can a thief of souls deserve redemption?
But secrets can't stay buried forever. As Elowyn struggles to maintain her facade, the truth of Isabel's fate looms. What will Raven do when he learns the woman he loves is gone-and the soul he now holds close is a stranger? And what will Elowyn sacrifice to hold onto a love that was never hers to begin with?

THE BROKEN CROWN
The night the kingdom of Elaria burned, the stars hid behind smoke and sorrow. Princess Isabella watched flames devour the world she had always known-her home, her people, her family. The roar of battle drowned the lullabies of her childhood, and the clash of steel stole away the innocence she had once carried like a fragile crown. And at the heart of the chaos stood Adrian. Not the mysterious stranger who had once stolen her heart in the town streets, but the ruthless general of Draven, leading the assault with unyielding fire in his eyes. His sword cut down her guards, his orders shattered her gates, and his betrayal pierced her heart deeper than any blade. That night, Isabella's world ended. Her parents fell before her eyes. Her kingdom was lost. Her heart, once soft and unguarded, was broken beyond repair. But she survived. From the ashes of grief, she made a different kind of vow: never again would she be trapped in a life she could not control. She would flee, escaping the ruins of her past to find safety and a chance to live. Not as a warrior seeking vengeance, but as a soul seeking survival, a life reclaimed from the shadows of loss. And though she did not know it then, destiny would one day bring her face to face with the man who had destroyed her life. The man who would become both her greatest enemy... and the one love she could never escape.Complete
