In a gilded empire built on betrayal and blood, Princess Kalevala Trevairia was born to rule - or to be ruined. The daughter of a ruthless Emperor and a god-touched lineage, her beauty is both her weapon and her curse. Every smile she gives hides a blade; every promise, a poison.
When a brutal tournament crowns a new champion - a man who wins her hand through violence and fate - Kalevala finds herself ensnared in a game she once thought she controlled. To survive, she must master the art of cruelty her mother perfected, even as her heart stirs toward the one man who threatens her empire's cold order.
But the throne she fights to inherit is not made of gold - it is woven with lies, blood, and nightshade. And as enemies close in and gods whisper her name, Kalevala must decide: will she be her father's curse or her empire's salvation?
The crown is waiting. Who will bleed for it.

The Sorcerer's Pet
He burned for control. She was born of chaos. Together, they'll shatter the laws that broke them-and forge a love fierce enough to change everything. - In a kingdom where magic is law and the powerless are sold like cattle, survival is a coin few can afford. Every season, the poorest are swept from the streets and auctioned off as Familiars - living mana batteries to feed the ambitions of greedy sorcerers. Forgotten. Disposable. Erissa expected pain when she was claimed by Lord Kaelen Carmentis - the coldest sorcerer in the court, and heir to one of the oldest bloodlines in the realm. She didn't expect the bond to awaken something inside her. And she certainly didn't expect that, in the silence between them, she would feel safe. But Familiars aren't meant to be felt. And whatever is growing between them... is breaking every rule. Because she was never meant to survive the system. She was meant to rewrite it - and burn the old world down in the process.Complete

BOOK ONE of The Breath of Aethriel Princess Serétha has spent her life being polished, paraded, and prepared to become a political sacrifice - a sacred "union" meant to bind kingdoms under the gods' gaze. But on the eve of her fate being sealed, Serétha runs. The wilds beyond the palace are not freedom - they are hunger, cruelty, and the kind of darkness stories never warn you about. And Serétha isn't just being hunted by men who believe they own her... she's being pulled toward something she doesn't understand - something old, forbidden, and waking inside her blood. A thief with too much charm. A prince with a devotion sharp enough to cut. A world ruled by gods who do not forgive. Serétha wanted a choice. Now she has one - and it might burn Aethriel to the bone.Complete
The shadow and the crown 👑
Princess Seraphine Valeria was raised to rule, not to feel. Cold-eyed and sharp-minded, the heir of Eldoria has learned that love is a weakness and sentiment is a luxury reserved for those who do not sit near power. When her father secures a political marriage to strengthen the kingdom, she bows with grace-because obedience is strategy, and strategy is survival. But fate has always had a cruel sense of irony. Kael Draven, her sworn knight-silent, disciplined, and carved by war-has stood at her side for years. Feared by enemies, respected by kings. Bound to her by loyalty... and something far more dangerous. A foreign prince wants her hand. A kingdom demands her duty. But the only man who knows her heart is the one she cannot have. One is her future. One is her undoing. And power has never been won without sacrifice. Even ice melts. Especially when fire stands too close.
