Princess Elora of Ravengarde has spent her life bound by duty, her every breath dictated by royal expectations. At twenty-one, she has yet to choose a suitor, a defiance that has placed her in bitter conflict with her family. Now, they seek to wed her to a foreign prince, sealing her fate in a loveless union. But Elora refuses to be sold like chattel.
Restless and yearning for a life beyond the gilded cage of her castle, she finds solace in forbidden indulgences. When an opportunity arises to slip into the village unnoticed, she seizes it, desperate to glimpse the world beyond the palace walls.
But secrets fester in the shadows of Ravengarde. Beneath the polished marble and golden chandeliers, betrayal brews. For six years, a cold and distant knight has stood within the castle's halls, unwavering in their loyalty, or so it seems. In truth, they have been biding their time, preparing for the moment when their blade will strike.
As Elora treads the path of rebellion, she unknowingly steps into a web of deception, where love and treachery dance hand in hand, and the greatest danger may lie within her very home.

The Burden We Share
Genre: Action | Fantasy | Romance Her hair was as light as daylight, and her eyes burned like the sun itself. Liora stood frozen, heart hammering as the woman descended from her throne-each step elegant yet commanding. The closer she came, the heavier the air felt, until Elunara stood directly before her, gaze sharp and unrelenting. Liora tried to look away. She failed. Elunara tilted her chin upward, forcing their eyes to meet. "So... you're the one I'm meant to marry?" she asked, her voice smooth like honey laced with venom. Her eyes roamed over Liora's face, slow and deliberate. Liora knew she should answer. Knew silence might be taken as disrespect. But this woman-goddess-like in beauty, terrifying in presence-had stolen the words right from her throat. Elunara smirked, leaning in close enough that Liora could feel the warmth of her breath. She traced a finger along Liora's bottom lip, eyes flicking down with unsettling intent. "I don't bite, darling," she whispered huskily. A pause. "Well... not yet." ⸻ ⚠️ Content Warning: This story includes mature themes such as explicit sexual content (smut), strong language, violence, discussions of incest, and instances of homophobia.
