Every generation, the kingdom crowns its ruler through the Trial of Embers-a brutal competition where only one heir survives the flames.
Princess Liora has never been wanted. The king's illegitimate daughter, she enters the trial not for glory, but to prove she belongs.
Kael Duskbane, heir to the strongest house in the realm, was born to win. He's powerful, perfect, and infuriatingly smug. He also happens to be Liora's greatest rival.
They're supposed to destroy each other.
Instead, the fire between them ignites something neither can control.
But in a game where betrayal is survival and only one heir can claim the crown...
falling for your enemy might be the most dangerous move of all.

The Veil Realms
A cursed realm. A dangerous fae. A touch that could destroy them both. Dragged into a hidden world of shadows and seduction, Ember never asked to be bound to a ruthless fae prince-especially one with silver eyes and a tongue made for war. His magic pulses through her veins. His power coils around her like a tether. And the worst part? She craves every stolen moment. Kael is sworn to protect the Veil Realms from the storm tearing its magic apart-but the flame-haired mortal girl he's bound to might be the end of him. She's wild, defiant, and entirely too tempting for a man who's spent centuries wrapped in shadow. But fate doesn't care about consent-and neither do ancient magic bonds. Together, they must navigate curses, court politics, and the aching pull of a connection they never wanted. Because in the Veil Realms, power is pain... And pleasure might be the deadliest weapon of all.Complete

BOOK 1: Marked by Flame ( Currently Editing)
*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast.

The strive for King Adarlan's favor caused tension and great rivalry between the two lands. The eldest of the two families were expected to hold the title of either King or Queen, they were both focused more on education and politics.
