She was raised in the ruins of a vanished crown-an heir to nothing but whispers and a name wrapped in silence.
On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Seren Elira Vale steps into the world she was never meant to survive-a world ruled by ancient courts and treacherous kings. One is light and lawless, cloaked in gold and grace. The other is shadow and ruin, a myth carved in fear.
When her dormant magic begins to stir, two powerful rulers take notice.
One offers protection. The other... wants her for reasons even the stars won't speak aloud.
As court politics tangle with forbidden magic and deeper betrayals, Seren must uncover the truth of her legacy-and the cost of her crown.
Two thrones. One girl. And a destiny written in ash.

Her kingdom is rising again - stone by stone, heart by heart - but peace is proving far more dangerous than war ever was. The prophecy that once whispered hope now dictates their path, and its fulfillment may demand more than they are willing to give. To see it through, the fractured kingdoms must unite-and an unexpected, otherworldly ally appears in their midst: Eli, an angel whose loyalty carries a cost none can measure. Yet as they race to fulfill destiny, Varian moves in secret to shatter it, his reach closer than anyone suspects. Together, Ria and her companions must hunt for a weapon powerful enough to kill an angel - a relic said to be hidden on an island that most believe a myth. But as villages burn and shadows move in the cracks between alliances, one traitor is caught... and another still hides among them. Amid the growing storm, Ria's bond with Nikolai - the Umbra Kyrios, feared king of TharVhal and the male fate bound her to - is pushed to its breaking point. Secrets fester between them, truths neither dares to speak, and the line between love and ruin blurs with every heartbeat. The Kingdom of Rising is a story of power and passion, of betrayal and unyielding love - where the light itself must bow to the shadows to survive.Complete

But when she's forced into a royal union with the most feared man in the world, her silence becomes her greatest weapon. King Thorne Dravyn is a ruler of shadows, known for his cruelty and iron rule. He swears he'll never touch his new bride-until a hidden mate bond begins to unravel his resolve, and desire turns to obsession. As their slow-burning enmity turns into something dangerous and deeply intimate, ancient forces awaken, and secrets long buried threaten to burn everything to ash.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
A Heart Untamed
Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.Complete
