"You undo me, completely, utterly, and maddeningly."
---
Myra has worked her whole life for a role in court, and when given the chance to prove herself, she seizes it, taking the small role of lady-in-waiting in the treacherous court of Viven. However, there's more to her role than anyone ever thought. As she balances her life in court and secrets of her own, she finds only one obstacle in her way.
---
Crown Prince Hayden Ansar was never destined to ascend the throne. But as his father's health decays, he's thrust into a world foreign to him, with time ticking before his coronation; he loses himself in the expectations before him, and that's before he is placed under the care of a new court member.
She irritates him more than ever before, testing his word like no one else could, pushing his sanity further than he would ever admit.
But when Viven crumbles to ash beneath the weight of war, their worlds collide, and forced together by circumstance they soon discover that no one is who they appear to be, and the price of loyalty is higher than they could have ever imagined.

For Her Favor
"This man had sought revenge for me and made a spectacle for it. He had protected my crown. He also answered my questions vaguely and I was nowhere closer to figuring him out than when he first arrived, but I was drawn to him. Like an addict to a drug, damn I wanted to be close to him. I wanted his touch. There was no sane explanation for it, it was just a want, a need." Princess Esme was never supposed to be Queen, but when tradgedy strikes in her Fae kingdom, she is forced to bear the crown. In Amoria, the Kingdom of Love and Life, she must battle with the patriarchy now to keep it. They want a king on the throne and she wants a chance at true love like the rest of her people. To placate the nobles in her kingdom that have a grip on her power, she agrees to the Battle of Hearts-a competition where eligible princes from other kingdoms compete for her favor and to be named king. Everything Esme knows is about to be challenged and not everything will be as it seems. In the end she'll have to choose; her kingdom or her heart.Lengkap

The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy)
As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion.

The Sword of Stone - Sworn Honours
"I am the sword of the crown, the shield of the realm and protector of the people. Without doubt, without failure, I shall guard the innocents against the malignant forces of magic. I give my heart and soul to the righteous and pray for the Father's mercy, for I shall show none." Sir Rolan Coytak, a paladin of the Holy Paladin Order of Farikesh, a seasoned and grizzled knight of twenty long years, is sent on a mission to the lands south of the Kingdom of Harliya, Amberfall, to investigate the rumours of blood magic. Travelling with his clumsy and naive squire, Rolan is greeted by many people, many with grace and dignity, others with suspicion. He is told by the Baron of these lands, the young Simon Greycrow, about bandits in ruins deep within the Redwoods of Amber that may hold what he seeks. But as Rolan travels these dark, beautiful, eerie forests, he learns that magic is not the only problem these lands have. Facing a great challenge as he uncovers the truth of the rumours, Rolan must make a decision that may haunt him for the rest of his life.Lengkap
The Copper Servant
Some are tricked into a bargain. Some are too desperate to refuse. Eighteen-year-old Ines Santoro is betrayed. Welcome to the Green Court, where magic is plentiful, escape is impossible, and mistakes are deadly. Its elven rulers may look divine, but they anger easily, so be careful not to spill any drinks, or breathe too loudly. Mortals rarely last long in their company, but four years into a life sentence, Ines has perfected the act of a dutiful servant, accepting every order with a smile on her face. That is, until she is caught committing high treason by the mad dog prince. But Silas has no intention of killing her. A deadly curse is waking, rotting the king by day and turning him into a bloodthirsty beast by night. And Ines, an ordinary girl with no connection to the curse, is the key to breaking it. Blackmailed into his service, Ines must follow Silas into the dark underbelly of the Green Court. There, the unlikely pair form a dangerous bond-one never meant to begin or last. In the palace, all that glitters hides a rotten core, and the royals are no exception. But then again, neither are the servants.
