In a world ruled by the fae, Deirdre has always believed herself to be a human destined for suffering and fear. The life she has spent running is upended when Kyros, the indifferent and complex lord of the House of Pyre, saves her from a certain, inevitable death. As she recovers and navigates the difficulties of fae friendships, Deirdre begins to uncover astonishing truths about her past. Human society is not what she thought, and she is far from ordinary. She discovers secrets surround her bloodline and realises she is tied to a controversial and ancient legacy fraught with greed, war, and betrayal.
As her connection to her ancestors awaken and her connection with Kyros deepens, Deirdre is torn between her growing, unavoidable attachment to him and the dangerous politics surrounding her heritage. With her newfound strength from training to earn her place in the House of Pyre, she must decide whether to embrace her legacy and challenge the fae order or protect the humanity she's always known. The balance between humans and fae rests on her shoulders, and the choices she makes will shape the fate of both worlds.

However, the newfound peace between species balances on a very thin thread which may soon break. With the emergence of a group known as Ironblades, Faeriekind is once again in danger. These Humans will stop at nothing to see all Faeries, and anyone born of Faerie blood, burnt to ash. Kalian Deirdre may be his people's last hope. It is up to him to infiltrate an Ironblade unit and uncover the true nature of their plot against Faeries before it's too late, but that will prove difficult. Moira Lev is an Ironblade Commander and well known for her hatred towards Faeries. Getting close to her won't be an easy task, and remaining undiscovered will be even harder. Regardless of the risks, Kalian is determined to succeed. He has to, or it will mean the extinction of his species as a whole. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real elements. There are chapters dealing with sexual content, gore, PTSD, child loss (prior to current story), genocide, torture, and other topics which some might find triggering.

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.
