Once, there was a girl named Concordia.
She was not born in a palace, but her father made one. He took a crown, a kingdom, and a title that didn't belong to him-and gave her the only life she was allowed to live: the life of a princess.
Draped in silver, robed in silk, and sharpened like a blade, she's raised to smile, bow, and bleed for the throne.
Every day, it's the same old lesson: be perfect, or be replaced
Then the Rew return.
They are not monsters, exactly. They are older than monsters-older than memory, than truth, than thrones. With their arrival, the kingdom collapses overnight. Her family is slaughtered. Her people vanish. And Concordia, the girl who was never meant to rule, is left alone to face a world steeped in blood and ruin.
No longer hidden behind her role, she's left with a secret only she seems to understand.
But the deeper she looks, the more the lines blur between myth and memory, between duty and destiny, between who she is and who she was never allowed to become.
If Concordia wants to stop the Rew, she'll have to learn how to cry. How to fight. How to fail gloriously.
Because being a princess isn't who she is.
It's just where her story begins.

**They called her worthless. The Abyss proved them catastrophically wrong.** Born to a bathhouse servant, Nyra was the Empire's favorite victim. For eighteen years, nobles bet on which beast would tear her apart first, watching her flesh regrow for the next round. They called her "worthless bastard," "abomination." On her eighteenth birthday, phoenix fire erupted from her spine-the rarest core in existence. The divine mark of imperial blood.

When she meets Ronan Fenwick-the beast-hunter whose mark burns for the creature he must kill-everything changes. He's hunting her. She's his fated mate. The girl they called worthless carries secrets that predate empires. The Therion throne thought they buried their shame. They're about to learn phoenixes don't stay buried. *Where monsters wear crowns and stolen power demands blood.*
His first wife : Our second chance at love
(Book 1 of His series). For six long years, Aaria lived like a ghost in her own marriage. The first wife-dutiful, patient, quietly enduring-while her husband's gaze, his warmth, his pride, belonged wholly to the second. Perhaps it was because she had given him two daughters. Perhaps it was destiny, cruel and unyielding. Whatever the reason, Aaria learned to move like an unmarried woman in her own home: independent, invisible, surviving without the love that once burned so brightly. Then came the accident. Broken glass, screeching tires, and in the sterile hum of the hospital, something else cracked open: her husband's eyes finally turned toward her. For the first time in years, he saw her-not the shadow, not the background figure, but the woman he once vowed never to neglect. Yet the woman he remembered-the soft-spoken, tender bride-no longer exists. In her place stands someone colder, sharpened by silence, armored by betrayal. Now he wants her love, her attention, her forgiveness. But can Aaria return to the cage she once escaped, even if gilded with belated affection? Or will she discover that true love-real, nourishing, intoxicating-lies beyond the boundaries of the life she sacrificed so much for? This is a story of resurrection after heartbreak, of a woman reclaiming her voice, her dignity, and her right to choose: return to a love that once failed her... or step boldly into the arms of something new.Complete
