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.

Now, at twenty, Liora attends the grand celebration of Loicel's supposed 25th birthday, still trapped in the lie she's lived for a decade. But across the ballroom, her gaze meets someone who shouldn't be here, the one person who knows her too well. Hanrietta Vespera, daughter of the Marquis, the girl Liora once called her closest friend, holds her gaze with a mix of confusion and something deeper, more painful.

As emotions flare and secrets spill, Liora finds herself caught between a past she's tried to forget and a future that could destroy everything she's worked to protect.

Apreggaited Cord
Raine Whispers has always lived their life in quiet routine-early mornings, long shifts behind the stove, and the occasional escape into the pages of an old adventure novel. They pride themself on being steady, reliable, unseen. Safe. Edalyn Clawthorne is none of those things. Sharp-tongued, golden-eyed, and untouchable, she drifts through life on her own terms. The kind of woman who can turn a crowded room with a laugh-or unravel someone with a single glance. When their paths cross by chance, Raine convinces themself it's nothing. Just a girl. Just a moment. But her voice lingers. Her smile sticks. And the harder they try to push her from their mind, the more she slips under their skin. Edalyn notices, of course. She always notices. And if Raine's tripping over themselves is any indication, maybe it's worth sticking around just to see how far they'll fall. A slow tangle of pride and vulnerability, [Apreggiated Chord] explores the uneasy thrill of attraction-the kind that sneaks in when you least expect it, leaves you stumbling, and dares you not to call it love.
