In the kingdom of Etharia, two sisters walk opposite paths. One is beloved, crowned, and praised. The other? Misunderstood, overlooked... and far more important than anyone realizes.
The second princess, Eliora Lilith Viena, was never meant to stand in the spotlight with a messy hair, a sharp tongue, and whispers trailing behind her, she's content letting the world believe what it wants- At least, that's what she tells herself.
Until one unexpected encounter sets a chain of events in motion. Events that may finally reveal the truth hidden in the shadows.
...And the people hiding in them...
Magic stirs. Loyalties crack. Not every crown is forged in gold; some are shaped in silence.

Broken Crowns
This is a draft. It's not complete and currently writing. I'll be editing and changing things as I go but will post revised when I change or update things. ****** In Extrovia, every crown is built on blood. Princess Dahlia Loth was born to play the role of the merciful heir: silk-clad, silent, and obedient. But behind palace walls, she is her father's favorite victim-punished for kindness, scarred for defiance, and promised to a man she despises. Her mother can heal wounds, but not break chains. Her brother plots rebellion, but the cost may be everything. Her sisters cling to innocence in a kingdom that devours it. And when an envoy from Nytherra arrives under the guise of diplomacy, Dahlia's mask begins to crack. Secrets are revealed, alliances tested, and the fire she has buried for years threatens to consume the throne itself. Their leader.... Makes Dahlia feel things she's never dreamed of. A tyrant's reign is not eternal. A princess's silence is not forever. And a crown-once broken-cannot be mended.

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.

The sisters and the forbidden chamber
Everyone thought she was dead. They were wrong. Now she's hunting two sisters who don't even know why. Staying alive? That's the biggest fight of all. | Here's a teaser: Then, she felt it again. But this time, the skin wasn't that cold. It was quite warm. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, trying to prepare herself for what she might see, and looked down. That didn't help her at all though, she still gasped, her gasp echoing eerily in the quiet night air; her heart still raced as though in a marathon; her breathing still hitched; a shiver still ran sharply down her spine. There was Vivienne, lying in the grass, a bullet through her heart, limbs mangled, blood everywhere, eyes lifeless. Lydia-against all her instincts-kneeled down beside Vivienne's body, squeezing her wrist tightly. There was no pulse. | I would really appreciate it if u vote and comment! I don't mind criticism!

Ashes of the Heir - Empire of Dust
Storms no longer bring only rain-they whisper names. Mirrors splinter without touch, and the dead return as if fire never claimed them. Elira knows the silence that lingers over her empire is not peace but warning, each omen tugging her deeper into visions of forgotten thrones and cities that should never have existed. Secrets buried beneath stone and ash claw their way back into the world, and with them comes a truth she was never meant to remember: her bloodline was not made to rule, but to seal. As whispers grow into voices and cults rise from the shadows, she is left with a choice no crown can guide-contain what stirs beneath the empire, or embrace it, and risk becoming the very fire her ancestors feared.Complete
