For centuries, the fae have whispered of dragons with hatred in their hearts-and fire in their veins. For just as long, dragons have remembered the betrayal of the fae, whose beauty hides barbed lies and cold magic.
Prince Kaelen of the Thornwild Court is the Fae Queen's deadliest weapon-graceful, merciless, and bound by centuries of blood and ice. Trained to charm and kill in equal measure, he hides his hunger beneath a smile sharp enough to cut steel.
High King Theron of the Drakari Dominion is fire made flesh. A dragon shifter born of war and wrath, he rules a crumbling empire from a throne of obsidian-and trusts no one, especially not the fae.
When Kaelen is sent as a reluctant emissary to Theron's volcanic kingdom, political tension ignites into something far more volatile. Sparks fly-of anger, of lust, of a desire neither can afford. What begins as a clash of tempers and blades quickly becomes a dangerous game of stolen glances, scorching nights, and forbidden craving.
But fire and thorns were never meant to entwine.
And love may cost them both their crowns... and their lives.
He is ice and shadow.
He is fire and fury.
Together, they'll set the world ablaze.

Desiderium
Signs of a great impending drought spread across a kingdom with a king too afraid to acknowledge them. The mechanisms meant to prevent this inevitable collapse began to fail, and a fringe movement arose. The reverants believed the only way to survive the coming mass extinction was through ruthless population control. Under the orders of their messiah, the White Lady, they took matters into their own hands, executing anyone who failed to make what they deemed a meaningful contribution to society. Wattle, a young woman from the capital, Townsend, is forced to join the army after her mother dies tragically in a house fire. Slowly, she begins to see that all is not as it seems: the King is hiding secrets, and the White Lady's influence stretches into places she should never be able to reach. At the same time, the young prince, Malin, must confront his father's failures and find a way to enact change in a world dictated by the relentless calculus of power. Yet beneath the chaos, the fear, and the cruelty lies something unshakable: the quiet, unwavering goodness of humanity. It survives in small acts, in love that refuses to be extinguished, in laughter, tenderness, and the care we give one another despite the corruption around us. It is this fragile yet indomitable goodness that can outlast the most terrible schemes, proving that the capacity to love, even in a world bent on destruction, is the most powerful force of all.
Forged in Sin //Princess X Knight

With forbidden magic stirring and her own darkness beginning to surface, she forges unlikely friendships with the very knights once sworn to serve her. Torn between duty, desire, and something far more dangerous, she must decide: remain the princess the kingdom expects or embrace the power she was never meant to wield.

In These Days of War
The elven kingdom of Tírnéth, weakened by civil war, is unable to ward off the threat posed by the mortal men of Carransii. For the first time in recorded history, foreign feet scale the Aghadh Mountains and tread elven land in pursuit of the most coveted thing in the world: The magic of the Misty Bog. Lying to the north of Tírnéth and governed by the Seelie Queen, it is a domain even elves are forbidden from entering. Even so, Princess Eimhir and her younger sisters make the journey to its border at the behest of her father, King Lorcán, in a desperate bid to preserve his legacy as the enemy closes in from the south. He entrusts his daughters to the care of his enigmatic Warden of the North, who holds her lonely vigil in the Grey Tower of the Wall of Devin. But in these days of war, Eimhir refuses to be passive. She will not be a damsel in distress awaiting the cold kiss of her enemy's blade. With her mind honed by the cutthroat politics of the royal court, she wields it like a weapon, but can she maintain her ruthlessness through the burgeoning feelings she holds for her protector?

Flame and Ice
In a world divided by fire and ice, two kingdoms stand locked in eternal war. To the south lies Arden, a realm forged from molten stone and searing flame, where warriors wield fire as both weapon and faith. To the north rises Lysandria, a glittering empire of frost and snow, where sorcerers bend ice and storm to their will. For centuries, their hatred has burned and frozen the land alike, rooted in an ancient myth that declared " Fire and Ice must never unite, or the world itself will fall". Kael Arden, known as the Flameborn, is a commander of unrivalled strength and the heir of Adren's throne. Hardened by war, his life is bound to duty, steel and fire. Ariella Lysandra, a princess and ice-sorceress, is as graceful as she is dangerous. Her beauty is glacial, her power feared, and her heart guarded by generations of enmity. When fate forces them together against a rising darkness-an ancient force that threatens to consume both kingdoms- Kael and Ariella must fight side by side. Bound by a magical oath, their lives become entwined: if one falls, so does the other. But as fire and frost collide, hatred gives way to something far more perilous: desire. Every glance ignites forbidden sparks, every touch blurs the line between enemy and lover. To love each other means to defy kingdoms, gods, and centuries of blood-soaked history. In a land where fire devours and ice destroys, can their passion forge a new destiny- or will it shatter their world forever?
