In the glittering kingdom of Velmireth, where magic fuels progress and the nobility thrive in splendor, peace is a carefully orchestrated illusion. The poor are silenced with bread and spectacle, and the kingdom's golden age is built on forgotten blood and buried truths.
Among the gilded towers and perfumed courts, a thief known only as Lady Whispersilk wages her quiet war. She steals from the glittering elite, Whether cloaked in dawn or dusk, she moved like fate itself-silent, swift, and never where she was supposed to be. redistributing stolen magic and coin to the forgotten corners of the kingdom. Her acts of rebellion have earned her folk-hero status among the commoners-and a death sentence from the Crown.
But Lady Whispersilk is more than just a phantom in silk and shadow. Behind the mask is Farfalla, a girl raised on secrets and survival, her past buried as deeply as the truths she now steals to expose. When a relic stolen from a royal vault begins to awaken strange visions and forgotten memories, Farfalla begins to unravel a terrifying truth: her life is not her own.
Long before her birth, a prophecy was written in celestial flame-a tale of a bloodline cursed to bring ruin or renewal to Velmireth. Her very existence was orchestrated by divine hands, her every step subtly guided by forces unseen. She is not merely playing a role in the kingdom's story-she is the story, written in ink she never chose and bound to a fate crafted by the gods themselves.

But when Solenne steals a single drop of the light and uses it to save a starving child beyond the palace gates, something inside her burns awake. The light does not forgive theft-and the chains that hold the sun begin to stir. As the court hungers for more and the city rots beneath its shadow, Solenne learns the truth of the feasts. And the world is unraveling one gilded goblet at a time. Haunted by the quiet hum of the chains, Solenne must decide whether to keep her place among the unseen-or become the spark that sets the whole palace alight.

The Forgotten nameless and the elf princess
Long ago, the Void claimed a soul of humankind, stripping away their name, their history, their face. All memory of them faded from the world, save for the chorus of whispers the Void left behind. Thus they became The Nameless Whispered One - forgotten, yet forever haunted. But though the Void unmade them, it also left them tools. The Nameless moved like a shadow across stone, their steps forgotten as soon as they were made. Doors barred to others opened at their touch, for no lock remembered to resist them. Their daggers struck unseen, their enemies already fallen before their names could be spoken. Where others saw a curse, the Nameless carried silence as a blade. Yet even shadows need an anchor. In the halls of the evergreen court lived a princess, ageless as the trees from which her crown was carved. Her memory was unbroken, her gaze unshaken. Where all others forgot the Nameless moments after meeting them, the princess remembered. Always. She walked beside them when no one else could. She stayed their hand when the whispers urged blood. She gave them a place in her story, when they had none of their own. The people feared her choice. They whispered that she risked her throne and her immortal line by binding herself to a soul touched by the Void. But still she kept the Nameless at her side - the forgotten blade and the eternal princess. Together they became a legend: one lost, one unyielding. The Nameless slipped through shadows, unseen and unremembered, while the princess stood radiant, the only one who could call them back from the abyss. And so the tale is told: when a shadow passes silently through the forest and no one recalls its shape, it is the Nameless at work. And when you see a lone princess walking the moonlit woods, know she is not alone - for her memory is the one chain the Void itself could not break.
Masquerade
The kingdom of Verlockend has a secret. Within its emerald green hills and spanning lakes lies a deadly curse. Behind its citizens' extravagant masks exists a condition beyond compare: hideous boils that cover every face. For as long as Fawn has known, this is the way life has been under the rule of King Malin; everyone within its walls is mandated to wear a mask at all times, so as not to reveal the cause of Verlockend's mysterious solitude to its enemies. The curse that covered the miles of fruitful land long ago is not only hard to look at, but deadly as citizens continue to age. The elderly members of the community are starting to disappear more and more often, sent far away from civilization due to the violent characteristics of the curse. Their heartbroken families never see them again. Despite the horrors of this, Fawn lives a comfortable life as a baker's daughter. Having lived this sad tale all her life, she has grown used to spending her days hidden behind cloth. But even within the mundane kitchen life, a secret as big as her kingdom's always looms in the back of her mind: she is not cursed.

When the home she thought she knew is suddenly turned upside down, Fawn realizes that she cannot live surrounded by secrets any longer. Her chance comes upon meeting a cunning stranger named Jacinth, whose bold spirit leads them both into an unexplored land to discover the truth behind all the lies. Along with wise Kendry, confident Wrendolyn, and some companions along the way, Fawn finds herself as she discovers the story behind her kingdom's fate - and if there is a way to break the curse once and for all.Complete
