When the fog rolled into Ravenshade, everything changed.
The town-isolated, silent, and buried in secrets-became a trap for those who entered. No one knows why they were chosen, or what the Hollow truly wants, but one thing is clear: once you're inside, there's no way out.
Lyra Vale never believed in curses or ghost stories. But when she arrives in Ravenshade, strange things begin to happen-voices in the fog, flickering lights, memories that don't belong to her. The people she meets all share one thing in common: they're being tested. By something ancient. Something that sees everything.
As the trials begin, trust fractures, reality bends, and the line between life and death starts to fade. To survive, Lyra must face the darkest parts of herself-and uncover the truth buried deep beneath Ravenshade.
Some will break.
Some will become monsters.
Only one will ascend.
ASCENSION - a dark, atmospheric thriller about survival, guilt, and the cost of uncovering the truth.

Veins of The Lost Moon
The moons remember what the world has forgotten. Hidden among mortals by her mother, Herinity, Avyanna has always lived in the quiet shadow of her gifted sister, Delilah. She was never meant to awaken, but when it comes, what should have been her long-delayed awakening becomes something far older, far more dangerous - a power whispered about only in the oldest lunar myths: the Lost Moonstone. Now hunted by prophecy and dreams of a kingdom lost beneath fractured moons, Avyanna must navigate a world where truth and illusion blur, and every secret her mother kept begins to unravel. As war stirs beyond the veils of Galariah, ancient forces awaken - including the exiled god who calls her "daughter." The High Council fractures, her sister succumbs to shadow whispers, and reality itself begins to bend under her emotions. As the moons align and the veil between realms shatters, Avyanna must decide whether she will be the Balance reborn or the ruin her blood was destined to bring. Because when the violet moon rises, salvation and destruction will share the same face. Power born of moons always demands sacrifice. And Avyanna is beginning to fear the price is her soul. Family. Love. Friendship. Betrayal. Loss. Only fate is in control now.
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.
The Academy of Shadows
Magic. Bloodlines. Secrets buried in shadows. The heir to the Four Kingdoms was never meant to be found. When sixteen-year-old Princess Lyra Voss arrives at the Academy of the Arcane Veil, she carries more than her royal blood-she carries a prophecy, a curse, and a legacy lost to time. The Academy promises sanctuary. Training. Answers. But its halls whisper secrets, and not all of them want her to survive long enough to hear the truth. As Lyra is drawn into a world of forbidden magic, political intrigue, and ancient power, she discovers the ruined city of Velmora-a forgotten fifth kingdom buried in myth and shadow. The more she learns, the more impossible her future becomes: a lost twin brother, a cursed crown, and the echo of a war that never truly ended. Allies become suspects. Teachers hide dangerous truths. And deep beneath the Academy, something stirs... waiting for the Queen who was never supposed to rise. If Lyra cannot unlock her gifts-and uncover the treachery buried in her bloodline-then darkness will claim not just her, but the entire realm. The first book in a sweeping four-part dark fantasy series, The Academy of Shadows is perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, The Cruel Prince, and A Deadly Education. Enter a world of cursed thrones, forgotten cities, and one girl caught between destiny and rebellion.Complete

We Who Lie
He was the bastard prince no one wanted. She was the bard girl who gave him her heart. Now he's king- and the first thing he did was outlaw stories. Lyra Lightfoot once believed in fairy tales.

A boy is burned for reading a book. And Lyra? She's running for her life with Arthur, a battle-scarred magician whose heart bleeds ink and fire. But Cyril is not done with her-not by a long shot. Because beneath his cruelty is a secret only she knows, a monstrous truth wrapped in soft promises and broken wrists.
