THE SCARLET DECREE...
-By Celestia Virelle
They took her family, her throne, and her future. Now she's taking everything back- one blade, one lie, one kiss at a time.
At just twenty-two, Lyra Dravaryn is no pawn in their game-she is the game. Armed with a mind as sharp as any blade and a beauty that disarms even her most ruthless enemies, she is both seductress and sovereign. Every glance is a trap, every word a calculation.
Trained in deadly dance of diplomacy, seduction, and war, Queen Lyra wields her power with elegance and unrelenting precision. But as whispers of rebellion spread and long-buried secrets rise, her enemies close in- unaware that she's already planned their end.
Then comes him- a rival king , cunning, and impossible to ignore. In a world where love is weakness, Lyra must choose: yield to the pull of desire, or turn her heart into her sharpest weapon.
The Scarlet Decree is a dark, seductive tale of political betrayal, forbidden passion, and a queen's relentless ascent. In the kingdom of Virelia, power is pleasure, vengeance is duty, and only one woman dares to rule them all.

Scarlet
**Story updates every Wednesday at 12:00 PM EST.** Magic is dead in Redwyne. At least, that's what the Baron would like everyone to believe. He's planning something, tracking down families descended from powerful magical bloodlines and having his assassins steal them away in the middle of the night. Lyra Ashcombe was never meant to be nobility. Descended from a powerful magical bloodline and far too brutally honest to ever survive the politics of court, she returns from years of exile only to be thrown into an arranged marriage with the leader of the Baron's mysterious assassins. Bound by a debt she can't put off any longer, and the threat of her brother being sent to the front lines, she must play the part of the dutiful bride. Vale Corbyn walks a knife's edge of carefully constructed half-truths. Known across Redwyne as "The Scarlet Assassin," he's ruthless, nameless, and unwaveringly loyal to the Baron. Marriage is just another move in the long game he's playing, a sacrifice he's reluctantly willing to make. Gifted with the power of foresight, Vale has been having visions of Lyra for weeks. When the Baron forces his hand on the matter of marriage, her name is the only one that comes to his mind. But Lyra is naturally suspicious, and Vale has many secrets. As the Baron's web of deception continues to unravel around them, two things become apparent: the first is that Vale's reluctance to tell Lyra the full truth might be the downfall of all their plans. The second is that the Baron's arrangement might also be his greatest mistake - a woman with a spine of steel, who has every reason to kill him, and his most lethal weapon, completely devoted to her. **DISCLAIMER: This book is a work in progress.
