Princess Kaya Kweller of Caspian has spent her life in the shadow of her destiny. As the only heir to a kingdom rich with forest and tradition, she is torn between duty and a dream: to reunite the fractured kingdoms of Caspian, Ravenrie, Reyna, and Asterin. But with war simmering on the horizon and advisors who insist it is impossible, Kaya is forced to decide: will she stay to fulfill the coronation awaiting her, or will she defy the throne to pursue the future she believes is possible?
The War of Broken Crowns is an epic tale of love, loss, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the fire of conflict. Will the princess's dream of unity survive, or will it crumble beneath the weight of ancient grudges?

Silver: The Lost Royal ✓
Karyn doesn't believe in magic... until the day it comes for her. When four mysterious students arrive at Emerfield High, Karyn's haunting dreams vanish, and so does her best friend. They claim Karyn belongs to Wlerden, a kingdom that remembers her far more than she remembers it. To them, she was going to save a nation on the brink of ruin. To her, it was a chance to finally uncover the truth about her parents' murder, a truth someone had gone to deadly lengths to keep buried. And she took it. But Wlerden is a world fractured by power, and the past Karyn chases may destroy her before she can claim it. As her powers spiral beyond her control, she must survive the hunt of monsters and men, and decide if she's ready to become something more than a missing heir. Logic meets Magic in this lyrical, thrilling, and fiercely original debut about legacy, loss, and the price of truth.

Broken Crowns
This is a draft. It's not complete and currently writing. I'll be editing and changing things as I go but will post revised when I change or update things. ****** In Extrovia, every crown is built on blood. Princess Dahlia Loth was born to play the role of the merciful heir: silk-clad, silent, and obedient. But behind palace walls, she is her father's favorite victim-punished for kindness, scarred for defiance, and promised to a man she despises. Her mother can heal wounds, but not break chains. Her brother plots rebellion, but the cost may be everything. Her sisters cling to innocence in a kingdom that devours it. And when an envoy from Nytherra arrives under the guise of diplomacy, Dahlia's mask begins to crack. Secrets are revealed, alliances tested, and the fire she has buried for years threatens to consume the throne itself. Their leader.... Makes Dahlia feel things she's never dreamed of.
