Eighty years ago, the Court of Dusk vanished in a blaze of supposed sacrifice. Is that really the truth, though?
In Aetherspire, "supposedly street-thief" Neris wants nothing but to uncover the truth. But when her locket flares with violet light and whispers of her lost bloodline, she learns she's the heir to the forgotten Sixth Court-and the target of powers that should have stayed buried.
Meanwhile, sharp-tongued noble rebel Veyric uncovers a trail of corruption: the Court of Embers has rigged every election for twenty years. His search draws him to Master Eryndor...and straight into Neris's path.
When powerful figures begin turning up dead-bodies glowing faintly violet, marked with a crescent tattoo-Neris and Veyric are forced into an uneasy alliance. Together, they must untangle conspiracies, face the Court of Embers, and unearth the Court of Dusk's true design before the Blue Moon rises.

Veil of Control
Vesper has lived her life in the shadows, hiding a secret that could condemn her to chains- or worse. Born with forbidden telekinetic power, she knows what happens to those with gifts like hers: they vanish into the King's grasp, dragged from their homes and never seen again. Some say they're executed. Others whisper of hidden prisons beneath the palace. Vesper intends to find out. Disguised as a servant, she slips into the heart of the royal court, determined to uncover where the missing are taken and how she can help them. But the palace is a labyrinth of rivalries, lies, and hungry eyes, each more dangerous than the last. Prince Euris, the scholar with a kind smile and quiet defiance, draws her closer with a gentleness she hasn't known in years. With him, she begins to feel like more than just a survivor. But Euris is fighting battles of his own-and trusting him could tangle her heart in a war she can't afford to lose. And then there is Caen, the King's shadow and rumored telepath. His gaze strips her bare, his presence a weight pressing on her mind. Every encounter is a duel: his relentless probing against her fragile shields. Terrifying, magnetic, he knows she has secrets-and he won't stop until he unravels them. As war brews beyond the palace walls and loyalties fracture within them, Vesper finds herself caught between two powerful men, between desire and deception, between survival and sacrifice. But one truth grows sharper with every passing day: if she isn't careful, the palace will consume her, body and soul. And if Caen learns what she truly is, there will be no hiding at all.
