A Princess who wants to be seen. A Peasant who wants to be heard.
The Kingdom of Osharis is a small, yet stable and independent nation. Yet it remains to be seen how long that will last, with war threatening to erupt at any moment against larger, stronger enemies.
Princess Jeralia Dyso has been heir to the throne for all 25 years of her life, yet she can hardly relate to any other princess--or anyone else, for that matter.
A curse has marred her since birth, making her formidable yet inhuman. Despite having the love of her father and the wisdom of her mentor, tradition and innovation both call for the destruction of her abnormal yet comfortable way of life.
Feroy has nothing in common with Jeralia. Being both a civilian and a foreigner hailing from the Kingdom of Mizan, it seems as if he has nothing to do with Princess.
Well, almost nothing.
Being cursed with his own powerful, yet detrimental abnormality, he strives to find the root behind it all. He can't do it alone, however.
Will Osharis fall before Jeralia and Feroy find the answers they need?

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
