History forgot her. The curse did not.
Theodosia is the bastard daughter of King Edward IV and Lady Eleanor Talbot-quiet, kind-hearted, and sickly from birth. Though hidden from the court for years, she is not unloved. Edward keeps her close, a delicate shadow behind the throne, his most guarded secret.
But secrets in a royal court never stay buried.
When Edward marries Elizabeth Woodville, Theodosia's place-and safety-begin to unravel. Elizabeth, jealous of the girl her husband calls his dove, invokes a forbidden curse. What begins as whispered words in candlelight soon coils itself around the York court, targeting not just Theodosia, but the Kingmaker, Warwick, and the ambitious Duke of Clarence.
As death, madness, and betrayal seep through the House of York, Theodosia begins to suspect there is more behind the crown's fall than ambition alone. Shadows gather in every corner. Allies vanish. And her mother's past may hold the only key to breaking the curse... if it isn't already too late.
A forgotten daughter. A queen's wrath. A kingdom cursed from within.

He governs his realm with an iron hand, but he cannot rule his own family: his sons are weak and their wives adulterous; while his red-haired daughter Elizabeth is unhappily married to an Emperor who prefers the company of men. A web of scandal, murder and intrigue is weaving itself around the White Rose; but his downfall will come from an unexpected quarter. Bent on the persecution of the rich and powerful Carthusian Brothers of the Sword, Edward sentences Grand Prior James Green to be burned at the stake, thus drawing down upon himself a curse that will destroy his entire bloodline...Concluida
Chronicles of Avaloria
Nearly three centuries ago, the once-mighty human-dwarven alliance of Ostrovia was destroyed during a brutal series of civil wars and political malfeasances. Ancient blood magic and dwarven machinery fueled the death and destruction. Kings turned on one another, and the great wizards were corrupted by their own power. In the last days of the fall, the orc tribes, united by chaos and bloodshed, descended from the mountains and destroyed the war-torn kingdom, becoming the new dominant race of the land, leaving humanity on the brink of extinction. During those final days, a group of desperate survivors set course on a bold expedition into the perilous and uncharted Sea. Against all odds, a single ship crashed upon the shores of Avaloria... a realm steeped in ancient magic and guarded by a living forest teaming with dangerous enemies and undiscovered wonder. Now, nearly three centuries later, under the steadfast leadership of Aldros Valtir, the descendants of that fateful journey labor to rebuild civilization in the new world. At the edge of the wild frontier, young Aelar Varos has grown up in Harrow's End, a modest village, clinging to the untamed forests of Avaloria. But when Aelar unwittingly attracts the attention of something more powerful than he can fathom, it sets his destiny on an uncertain course. Cedric Valtir, eldest son of the King and heir to the throne, is loved by his men and women in equal measure. In the bustling heart of Valoria, where the lively corridors of The Silver Stag echo with hope and revelry, Cedric bridges his regal past with the promise of a new future. With his effortless grace, keen intellect, and warm humor, he inspires his people as he listens to their dreams and fears, even as whispers of impending threats swirl around him. But what will fate have in mind when he leaves the walls of the city that defines him?
