Shadows of the Royal Court
A tale of vengeance, power, and a love born from hatred.

Aurora Whitlock is the Emperor's illegitimate daughter-a maid in the royal palace, ignored and mistreated by the royal family. She's spent her life surviving the cruelty of her stepmother, the Empress, and the ridicule of her half-brothers. But one thing keeps her going revenge.

Haunted by her mother's mysterious death, Aurora is determined to uncover the truth. Trained in secret as an assassin, she hunts down those she believes are responsible for her mother's murder, moving under the cover of night.

Cassian, the Crown Prince of Eryndale, arrives at the palace with orders from his father to start a war. Known as a tyrant, he's feared and hated by all. When he crosses paths with Aurora, their animosity is instant. But with the Empress plotting against them both, they must work together to survive the palace's dark secrets.

Two enemies, one dangerous alliance. Will their trust grow, or will betrayal tear them apart? In a world of lies and deceit, only the strongest will survive.

POWER. SECRETS. MAGIC. Two girls that have the power to rule over all. A conspiracy that threatens everything they ever thought they knew. And a deadly fight over undeniable power. Aurora Celeste - Crown Princess and next in line to the throne - has spent her whole life away from her missing mother. She has longed for the day they will reunite, but with that comes a cost she had never bargained for. The long-awaited reunion brings unexpected surprises - like a twin sister called Elara she knew nothing about, and magic that dances at her fingertips - but it also unlocks secrets that the King had tried to protect his daughter from. But when all those secrets put her own life in danger, as well as others', her parents have to make the difficult decision to stop shielding her and let her know the buried truths haunting them. Doing so, however, opens Aurora and Elara up to an entirely new world - one that isn't always so good. The price for happiness might be far higher than the girls can afford, and they may pay a cost they will never recover from.
