In a city where magic is outlawed, a fallen prince hides behind his empire of shadows-until a fearless commoner accidentally binds her soul to his curse. Now, loving him means dying with him. Synopsis Magic was banned from Aetheris City a decade ago, after the royal family's dark secret burned half the kingdom to ash. But magic never truly disappeared-it just went underground. Cassia Vale, a twenty-one-year-old street healer, survives by using her forbidden gift in secret. She swore never to get involved with nobles. Never again. Until she saves the life of a man she shouldn't have touched. A man who bleeds black smoke instead of blood. A man whose name the world forgot-Prince Kael Draven, heir to the fallen throne, cursed by his own father to live in eternal shadow. But their accidental bond awakens an ancient prophecy. The curse that destroys everything Kael loves now begins to consume Cassia's heart too. And the only way to break it- is to fall in love before the final eclipse.
THE BROKEN CROWN
The night the kingdom of Elaria burned, the stars hid behind smoke and sorrow. Princess Isabella watched flames devour the world she had always known-her home, her people, her family. The roar of battle drowned the lullabies of her childhood, and the clash of steel stole away the innocence she had once carried like a fragile crown. And at the heart of the chaos stood Adrian. Not the mysterious stranger who had once stolen her heart in the town streets, but the ruthless general of Draven, leading the assault with unyielding fire in his eyes. His sword cut down her guards, his orders shattered her gates, and his betrayal pierced her heart deeper than any blade. That night, Isabella's world ended. Her parents fell before her eyes. Her kingdom was lost. Her heart, once soft and unguarded, was broken beyond repair. But she survived. From the ashes of grief, she made a different kind of vow: never again would she be trapped in a life she could not control. She would flee, escaping the ruins of her past to find safety and a chance to live. Not as a warrior seeking vengeance, but as a soul seeking survival, a life reclaimed from the shadows of loss. And though she did not know it then, destiny would one day bring her face to face with the man who had destroyed her life. The man who would become both her greatest enemy... and the one love she could never escape.Complete

The Siren Song of Mareveila
Book Description: In a kingdom nestled by the sea, where beauty masks danger and politics are as shifting as the tides, a fragile peace is shattered when rumors of sirens prove true-and deadly. When the beloved prince is lured into the ocean by an enchanting song and never returns, the king launches a brutal hunt, slaughtering the creatures of the deep in his grief and rage. But vengeance never comes without consequence. Beneath the waves, the Sea King mourns two daughters lost to the blades of men. And in his fury, he prepares for war. As his court begins to fracture, one of his sons, Prince Virel, is tasked with a mission of seduction and revenge: lure the human king's only daughter, Princess Helena, and destroy her. What begins as a plan to break her becomes something far more dangerous. Because Helena is not the naive royal Virel expected-she is fierce, clever, and scarred by grief of her own. And when betrayal crashes over both their worlds, neither is prepared for the ruin... or the spark. Now, alliances are shifting. Kings are scheming. And amidst whispers of war and the shadows of drowned love, a new question emerges: Can peace be born between two enemies bound by blood and heartbreak? Or will love drown where vengeance reigns? For fans of dark fantasy, enemies-to-lovers, political intrigue, and star-crossed fates, this sweeping tale of sea and sorrow will pull you beneath the surface... and refuse to let go.Complete
