Evil never wins. At least, that's what General Liora Vexleyr's ancestors told her.
But when Kaerhya's council signs a desperate treaty with their longtime enemy, Zavaryn, Liora's world shatters. Stripped of her command and offered as a pawn, she must marry Cassian Ravaryn - the exiled Ash Prince whose name is whispered with fear and hatred across the land.
Bound by a fragile alliance forged in blood and betrayal, Liora and Cassian stand on opposite sides of a war neither wants but both must navigate. She is the fierce general raised to destroy everything he represents. He is the fallen heir wielding shadows to reclaim a crown that was stolen from him.
As grudges burn hotter than old battle scars, Liora must decide if the man behind the Ravaryn name is the enemy she's trained to kill... or the unexpected key to her own survival.
In a world where peace is a lie, and loyalty is currency, love may be the deadliest weapon of all.

Kastiel Ravaryn, the fiercest general in all of Solmaria, was a name whispered in fear on the battlefield. His victories were countless, his strategies unparalleled, and his loyalty to his kingdom unwavering. When the king offered a prize for his triumphs-not wealth, nor land, but a woman of his choice-the court expected him to claim a noble lady, perhaps even Princess Avaria herself. But Kastiel shocked them all by choosing Seraphine Kaelor-a humble healer, a commoner, and a woman whose kindness had unknowingly captured his heart. Seraphine, who had spent her life healing the wounded and tending to the sick, never imagined she would be thrust into the heart of a royal scandal. She had always known her place, far from the glittering world of nobles and kings, but Kastiel's unexpected choice shattered her understanding of her own worth. As she became the center of court gossip, Seraphine found herself caught between the love of a man who defied his station and the dangerous obsession of Princess Avaria, who would stop at nothing to claim Kastiel for herself. While Kastiel battles foreign invaders, he is also forced to fight against the web of lies, betrayal, and envy that threaten to tear his world apart. With Seraphine's life hanging in the balance and the kingdom's future uncertain, Kastiel must confront not only the enemies at his doorstep but the haunting truth that love, above all, may be the war that leaves him broken beyond repair. In a land where loyalty and betrayal intertwine, where every victory is shadowed by loss, Kastiel and Seraphine must navigate a perilous path, one where their hearts and their lives are the ultimate prize.Complete
