Two Sisters, One Crown
One princess was born to rule.
Another was stolen away and trained to destroy the crown.
In the mountain kingdom of Moriven, Princess Lyra lives a life of luxury and lies. Groomed for the throne and promised to a foreign prince. However, she longs for freedom beyond the palace.
Far from court, in a distant village, the rebels whisper a different story. A twin girl, once thought stillborn, is alive. Raised in secret to one day take back the throne her blood was meant to claim.
When rebellion stirs and masks begin to crack, two sisters on opposite sides of the crown are set on a collision course. The fate of a kingdom may rest on whether blood divides them-or binds them.

For The Sword
"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series
The Weight of the Crown
**Previously known as The Caerwyn Chronicles** In a realm ruled by tradition and bound by blood, power is both a privilege and a curse. The Kingdom of Avarienne stands united under the High Throne-four provinces held together by oaths, legacy, and fear of what might follow should the crown ever falter. Yet behind palace walls, the final years of King Alaric IV's reign are marked by quiet fractures. Old wounds resurface. Noble houses maneuver for influence. And choices made in private begin to echo across the realm. As Alaric's daughter, Avelyne, rises to rule, she must navigate a court shaped by loyalty and loss, guided by her steadfast advisor, Lord Caiden, and shadowed by the sacrifices her family has already made. Her brother Rhen's forbidden marriage to a commoner-and his decision to walk away from crown and duty-tests the limits of blood ties and forgiveness. In time, even exile may not be permanent. Elsewhere, love continues to challenge the rigid order of nobility: Elenora, daughter of Prince Dorian, binds herself to a man born outside her station, while Lord Cedric Draven finds his future entwined with Lady Anya Farrow-Rhen's daughter-forcing the court to confront its own hypocrisies about lineage, age, and power. As heirs rise, loyalties shift, and the old rules bend under the weight of human choice, the struggle for the throne becomes deeply personal. Because in Avarienne, legacy is not simply inherited-it is forged through sacrifice, defiance, and love that dares to cross forbidden lines. A tale of duty and desire, of fractured families and quiet revolutions. The crown may endure... but at what cost? Book One of The Kingdom of AvarienneComplete
