Beneath the Black Crown
Love was never my choice. Survival is. He was meant to kill her. Instead, he crowned her. When Elara's boyfriend offers her as a sacrifice to the shadowed ruler of the Black Crown, she expects death. Instead, she's pulled into a realm of moonlit palaces and starlit rivers-where the king who should have been her executioner begins to look at her as if she belongs beside him. Now Elara must choose: return to the world that betrayed her... or take her place beneath the Black Crown.
OUTLAWED

After witnessing the brutal murder of her father at the hands of the royal family, Elara's mother hides her daughter's identity, pretending to be the mage in order to protect her. But when the royal family learns of a new mage bearing a powerful mark, they arrive at Elara's home, and her mother sacrifices herself to save her daughter. With her mother's death haunting her and the royal family's forces hot on her trail, Elara flees into the woods, unveiling the magic she's kept hidden for years. In the depths of the forest, Elara discovers a hidden group of mages-boys and girls, families-each with their own elemental power: fire, water, earth, air, blood, metal, and ice.

As the royal family intensifies its search, Elara must decide whether to stay hidden in the shadows or rise up with these newfound allies to reclaim her life and bring justice to those who destroyed her family.
