Newly crowned and unwilling to embrace tradition, King Samwell Valois wants nothing to do with magic -- especially not with Damia, the fiercely capable mage newly appointed to his court. But Damia, who has sacrificed her own ambitions to serve the people of Altriel, refuses to be dismissed. When a mysterious affliction strikes someone dear to the king, Samwell is forced to turn to the very magic he has long rejected, and the woman he's tried to avoid. As their reluctant alliance deepens, they uncover dark truths buried in the kingdom's past -- truths that no one person can face alone.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

This is the first book I've ever written so I'm still figuring things out. Please be nice, but do give feedback. One crown. One curse. One year to live. Wren Anaelle Yearwood never asked to be queen.

Haunted by cryptic messages, hunted by dark forces, and accompanied by a charming stranger with secrets of his own, Wren must navigate a world of forbidden magic, shifting loyalties, and ancient prophecies. As war brews and her power grows, she discovers the truth is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. The key to survival lies in the heart of a cursed forest, a flower of legend, and a choice that could change the fate of her kingdom-or end it forever. I hope you enjoy it!Complete
