Born to a servant and an emperor, Lyra Crestwood lives as a shadow in the gleaming halls of an empire built by swordmasters and sovereigns. She bears the imperial name-but none of the glory. Mocked for her blood, dismissed for her lack of talent, and raised in the cold silence of indifference, Lyra has spent her life trying to earn a place in a family that never wanted her.
Until now.
When the memories of another life awaken within her-a girl who burned for freedom and refused to kneel-Lyra begins to question everything. What if her weakness was never a curse... but a cage?
In a world ruled by legacy and blade, where bloodlines dictate fate, a forgotten princess dares to rise-not to claim a throne, but to forge her own destiny.
She was never meant to be a Crestwood.
She will make them wish she had been.

THE UNSTABLE PACT
A Cursed Witch. A Captive God. An Irrevocable Bond. For years, Lyra Blackwood has been slowly dying, tainted by the ancestral Ash Curse-a slow, miserable rot that has claimed her entire lineage. Desperate for a cure, she attempts the forbidden: a volatile ritual to harness a captured entity of pure power. Instead of a cure, she finds Kaelen, the devastatingly beautiful Lord of Shadow, and accidentally binds him to her very soul. - he shouldn't like it but to be free? or to actually fall in love? The pact should be simple: her command, his power. But Lyra quickly learns the horrifying truth: the curse is not a disease, but a centuries-old Seal maintaining Kaelen's prison. By binding him, she hasn't created a cure; she's created the perfect key to his absolute freedom. Now, Lyra must survive the mounting danger-the zealous Coven Hunter pursuing them, the total collapse of her moral world, and the volatile, icy hunger that flares every time she is forced to draw on Kaelen's essence. Trapped in a lethal, intimate journey across the magical world, Lyra and Kaelen are enemies fused by necessity. Every shared breath is a violation, every touch is an electrical surge of power and resentment. But as the ancient Seal weakens, Lyra must make a choice: honor her ancestors' sacrifice and die, sending Kaelen back to the abyss... ...or choose survival, claim the god of chaos as her own, and become the supreme power the world should truly fear. The battle isn't for the world. It's for her soul the one she wants-and the Shadow she's sworn to control.

As rebellion brews and ancient magic stirs beneath the city, love might be their greatest power-or the thing that unravels them both. Witches. Queerness. Betrayal. Magic that blooms and burns. If the world ends, it'll be because Eira loved her anyway.Complete
