Maelis, a woman in her late twenties, is a figure of quiet strength, both feared and respected for her calm determination in the face of any adversary. Her armor, etched with ancient runes, glows faintly with magic, reflecting Thalora's deep connection to the arcane. Armed with her longsword, Dawnstrider, she is a living symbol of the kingdom's power and legacy.
She grew up in the shadow of Thalora's grand citadel, Maelis, an orphan, devoted herself entirely to the service of the king whose eye she caught. Trained in swordsmanship, diplomacy, and strategy, her loyalty to King Thalion is unshakable, forged by shared hardships and mutual respect. Despite her stoic nature, Maelis harbors a quiet compassion for the kingdom's vulnerable, often working in the shadows to aid them.
As the head of the Kingsguard, she commands the utmost respect, her reputation as a warrior unrivaled. In battle, she is relentless, precise, and unyielding. Though she is deeply loyal to the throne, a secret admirer; Prince of Thalora; Caden, the heir to the throne quietly watches her with affection. Yet, to Maelis, this admiration is nothing more than a fleeting distraction. Her devotion to the kingdom remains unwavering, with no room for anything that might divert her from her sacred oath.

The Spirits' Curse
In the kingdom of Valorith, power is drawn not only from the elements but from the spirits of the dead. The ruling family of House Spiritis has long held dominion over the realm of the deceased, able to summon the souls of past rulers for counsel and command. But the spiritual boundary between life and death is weakening, and the spirits, once benevolent advisors, are growing restless. Lady Thalia Spiritis, heir to her family's ancient legacy, seeks to restore House Spiritis to its former glory by unlocking the full potential of the spirits. Driven by a deep, insatiable ambition, she becomes increasingly consumed by visions of an ancient artifact - a source of immense power that could grant her dominion over both the living and the dead. As Thalia's powers grow, so too does the danger of losing control. The spirits, who once aided her family, begin to reveal darker truths and ulterior motives. While Thalia grapples with her rising paranoia and her complex relationship with the restless dead, rival houses - Aeira, Vellis, Terros, and Pyra - begin to conspire against her, fearing the consequences of a spirit-led kingdom. Caught between loyalty, power, and the irresistible pull of the spirits, Thalia must confront the devastating cost of ambition: will she sacrifice everything, including herself, to seize the throne, or will the spirits use her as a pawn to reignite a war of the dead? With her allies uncertain, her enemies closing in, and the kingdom on the brink of collapse, the line between life and death begins to blur, and Thalia must decide - will she break the curse, or succumb to the spirits' will?Complete
Book One: The Iron Divide
,,THE IRON DIVIDE" For generations, war has raged across Tharador, its origins forgotten by all. Maerith hides her identity as a knight, and Calyx is the man both feared and desired. Amid masks, intrigues, and deadly proximity, she must choose: trust... or survival. ... For decades, the great Houses of Veyren and Althaire have drowned the land in endless bloodshed, their feud dividing Tharador across mist-shrouded rivers. Maerith carries the legacy of her fallen father, once loyal to House Veyren, and knows survival is a battle of steel and shadow - but nothing could prepare her for Calyx Althaire: brilliant, ruthless, and feared by all, the one man who could decide her fate with a single motion. To him, she is the key - the one who could bring his enemy to ruin. Captured, betrayed, and forced into proximity with the enemy she was trained to hate, Maerith must navigate a world where every glance hides a blade, every word carries a threat, and trust is a luxury she cannot afford. As storms rage across Tharador, alliances twist and betrayals abound, pushing Maerith and Calyx toward a destiny that neither fully controls. Their journey will demand loyalty, cunning, and the kind of courage that can change the course of kingdoms. In a land ruled by blood, lies, and shifting loyalties, only one thing is certain: Maerith will not go quietly - and neither will he. Enemies to lovers. Masks and deception. Survival, desire, and power collide in a dark fantasy world where hearts are as dangerous as swords.
