Synopsis
His father fell in war. His mother was lost to grief. At just twelve years old, Prince Kaelen inherits a crumbling throne and a kingdom on the brink of collapse.
There are no legends to guide him. No magic to save him. Only fire-forged trials, ruthless enemies, and a world that sees him as a boy too young to lead.
But kings aren't born. They're built. In the silence of grief, in the weight of duty, in the choices no child should ever face-that is where kings are made.

Only if he stands beside divine justice, Shall his warrior's strength raise him as king of the nation." Kaelen's destiny is greater than he ever imagined.

Amidst games of power, bloody battles, and conspiracies within and beyond the arenas, a chained prince must become more than an heir: he must become hope.
When storms collide
In the ancient realm of Thalandor, peace has always hung by a fragile thread. Two kingdoms-bound by blood, yet divided by betrayal-now stand on the brink of war. Prince Kaelen of the North, a warrior forged in ice and iron, carries the legacy of his ancestors: honor above all. Opposite him stands Lord Aric of the South, a man whose cunning is matched only by his blade, burdened with the shadows of his father's sins. Once sworn brothers, now bitter rivals, they meet beneath storm-filled skies-lightning crackling like the gods themselves are watching. The rain washes over their armor, but not their hatred. Each believes his cause to be just. Each is certain the other must fall. Yet, as thunder roars above, both men sense a greater force stirring in the storm-an ancient power long forgotten, waiting to be unleashed. Their clash will not only decide the fate of kingdoms, but awaken a darkness that neither sword nor crown can control. Because sometimes, the fiercest battles are not against each other... but against the storm withinComplete

Embers and Thorns
For centuries, the fae have whispered of dragons with hatred in their hearts-and fire in their veins. For just as long, dragons have remembered the betrayal of the fae, whose beauty hides barbed lies and cold magic. Prince Kaelen of the Thornwild Court is the Fae Queen's deadliest weapon-graceful, merciless, and bound by centuries of blood and ice. Trained to charm and kill in equal measure, he hides his hunger beneath a smile sharp enough to cut steel. High King Theron of the Drakari Dominion is fire made flesh. A dragon shifter born of war and wrath, he rules a crumbling empire from a throne of obsidian-and trusts no one, especially not the fae. When Kaelen is sent as a reluctant emissary to Theron's volcanic kingdom, political tension ignites into something far more volatile. Sparks fly-of anger, of lust, of a desire neither can afford. What begins as a clash of tempers and blades quickly becomes a dangerous game of stolen glances, scorching nights, and forbidden craving. But fire and thorns were never meant to entwine. And love may cost them both their crowns... and their lives. He is ice and shadow. He is fire and fury. Together, they'll set the world ablaze.

Abyssal | ✔️
(Book 1 of the Abyssal Series) The day that Kai learns that he's half-human, half-merman and that he's the key to ending a 100-year-old war, is also the day that the entire ocean learns of his existence. For twenty-seven years his family had kept him hidden from the world, but now the strongest, most dangerous merman in all the seven seas knows about Kai, and he's coming to the surface for him. To ensure victory, King Marius the Conqueror must capture the half-breed prince of Astria, his nation's greatest enemy, and claim him as his Mate in order to absorb his power before he learns to use it. There's only one problem: there's nothing Marius hates more than humans -not even an Astrian- and Kai is both those things. But when Marius sees the beautiful Kai and clashes swords with him, the cold-blooded king's blood begins to boil for the very first time. Perhaps he can tolerate Kai long enough to fuck him and steal his power. When a dark, handsome, sword-wielding stranger attacks Kai in his home only hours after discovering his heritage, instead of running, Kai fights even though he knows he's no match. Defeated, Kai is kidnapped to a world he never knew existed and is held prisoner against his will. Thrust into a secret, dangerous aquatic world, Kai must learn to navigate swimming with a tail instead of legs and avoid a powerful, possessive King's advances if he wants to save his newly-discovered mer-people from annihilation.
