In the Known World, fire is more than power-it is destiny.
Rebellion ignites in the desert city of Claethorpes, where a sinister flame colder than death itself threatens to consume Emberland. Leading his father's armies into battle, Cassian, the illegitimate son of King Darius, is tested in blood and fire long before he ever dreams of wearing a crown.
But as the city burns, tragedy spreads to the heart of the empire. King Darius lies on his deathbed, leaving behind a fractured realm-and a dangerous legacy. Though he legitimized Cassian and named him heir, Queen Sophia and her son, Prince Gaius, will stop at nothing to seize the throne.
As Cassian navigates the treacherous paths of war and court intrigue, he must also face the shadows within. Haunted by a white creature that stalks his dreams, and drawn to a fiery redhead whose beauty hides dangerous secrets, he struggles to hold on to his destiny.
Caught between rebellion on the battlefield and betrayal in the royal court, Cassian must choose what kind of man he will become. Will he rise as the king his father believed in-or be consumed by the enemies gathering on every front?
Epic battles, elemental gifts, and a kingdom at war with itself converge in this sweeping high-fantasy saga where every choice burns.

The Kingdom of Smoke and Secrets
Eight Houses. One Kingdom. A fragile peace that hides cracks deep enough to shatter everything. Prince Aurelien of House Chrysos is bound by duty, expectation, and a crown he's not sure he wants. Sent on a royal tour across the elemental Houses, he begins to see the Kingdom not through the eyes of an heir, but as a man-one who questions the balance of power and the cracks beneath the surface. Tala of House Zoetic is a gifted Healer, tied to the land and its creatures through an unbreakable bond. But her choice to walk a different path than her family has cost her dearly. When her world collides with Auro's, their fragile alliance begins to spark with something more-something neither of them is ready to face. Jessamy of House Verdant is running-from her past, from her failures, and from a choice she cannot take back. Following a mysterious pull deep into forbidden territory, she discovers a truth long buried, one that could set the Kingdom ablaze or save it from ruin. But rebellion stirs in the shadows, and secrets older than the Kingdom itself are beginning to resurface. In a land where fire dances, water sings, and shadows keep their own counsel, every choice carries a price. Some paths are chosen. Some are forged in fire. And some lead to the edge of everything.Concluída
Crowned In Ashes
Raised to wield the blade against him. Crowned to stand beside him. A forced marriage. A shattered kingdom. A love written in blood. Princess Celeste was raised to kill Crown Prince Cassian-the enemy heir who razed her homeland and signed her fate in fire. To preserve the fragile peace between their war-torn nations, she's forced to marry the very boy she was trained to destroy. But Cassian isn't the cold monster she imagined. And Celeste... she isn't just a pawn in their game of thrones. Beneath her poised silence lies a deadly secret: ancient, forbidden magic that could tip the scales of power-or burn everything to ash. As old wounds resurface and buried truths begin to rise, the thin line between duty and desire begins to blur. Cassian and Celeste must navigate palace intrigue, political betrayal, and their own dangerous attraction, all while enemies gather in the shadows-and war threatens to return. He was her enemy. She was his downfall. Together, they might be the end-or the beginning-of everything.Concluída
Chasing the Sun | Cassian | ACOTAR
When Cassian meets her, Tarquin's closest friend and the embodiment of sun-soaked chaos, it's over before it begins. She's golden, wild and dazzling in a way he never stood a chance against. And him? All grin and brute heart, utterly doomed. They circle each other like solar flares, just waiting to collide again. They ruin rooftops, start bar fights and quite literally bring down buildings. They flirt like it's war, kiss like it's peace, and burn like it's never going to end. A story of summer spun through laughter and lust, of two forces too bright to be tamed, too drawn to ever stay apart. Because she is the sun. And Cassian? Cassian would follow her into the fire.Concluída
A crown of Secrets and Fire
I grew up safe, protected, adored, certain of the life that awaited me. A grand estate, a devoted father... a wedding to the perfect man. But the altar crumbled beneath me, my world ripped apart in a heartbeat. The silk turned to ruin, vows to ash, and in one heartbeat, everything I knew was gone. I find myself trapped in a fortress in the mountains, under the gaze of a man whose heart did not hesitate to shatter mine years ago.... Whose hands promise protection... and claim. He doesn't ask for my trust, he takes it, drags me into a world of lies, bold betrayals, and secrets I wasn't prepared to see. And the truth? I can't tell if he's my salvation... or the most delicious kind of trap I've ever known. I am Genevieve. My life was safe, my choices clear. But now, nothing is as it seems. And the man in the shadows... he is the storm I can't outrun. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

Two Graves in the Dust
Cassian never planned on betrayal-at least not from his own crew. Left broken and bleeding on the edge of the desert, he flees with nothing but the memory of guns and blades at his back. Survival shouldn't be possible... until he's found by Koda, a quiet tracker with secrets of his own. Bound by chance and desperation, the two men carve a path across towns that barely remember mercy and sands that swallow everything whole. Cassian carries rage like a weapon; Koda carries silence like a shield. Together, they forge an uneasy alliance that shifts, slowly, into something neither can name. But the desert is not empty. Pursuers close in, old debts rise from the dust, and trust-once broken-may never be repaired. To survive, they must decide what they're willing to fight for, and what they're willing to bury. Because in a land of betrayal and blood, there are only two endings: forgiveness... or two graves in the dust.
The Quiet Offering
The gods chose them. But what if the gods lied? Cael's world runs on worship-every birth, breath, and death bound to divine light. He's never questioned it. Until his sister slips into an unnatural coma, and the gods demand a price for her salvation. Hunted by monsters, torn between loyalty and truth, Cael must decide: will he wield the sword that protects the lie, or ignite the flame that burns it all down? A tale of sacrifice, betrayal, and love in a world where gods wear masks, and faith itself can topple kingdoms. (Slow-burn, but once it ignites, it consumes.)

A tale of resilience, hidden magic, and slow-burning bonds, Wynstead's Reckoning invites readers into a world where every choice carries weight, and the greatest battles are often within.Concluída
