When seventeen-year-old Delphine's world literally shatters-along with her living room window-she discovers the truth her brother has spent years hiding. They aren't human. They're Aetherials-beings born from the fabric of time, mind, and element itself.
Ryan is a Mistborn, a Hydrokinesis-wielding Elementari.
Delphine is something far more dangerous-a Chronari, gifted with the power to bend time.
But her gift comes at a cost. When buried memories resurface, so does the night she lost control-and the moment her mother died. Ryan confesses to erasing her memories to protect her from herself, and now, with their safety in jeopardy, he's taking her to Crownspire: a hidden island, home to Aetherium Academy, where beings of magic and myth walk among the living.
As Delphine steps into a world of Fae, dual-blooded Aetherials, and ancient rivalries, she begins to uncover a truth more terrifying than her brother ever revealed. Her power isn't just rare-it's coveted. And if she can't learn to control it, time itself might unravel.

Seraphine Valemont has lived her life in gilded cages - trained to obey, to marry, to be the perfect heir. Her destiny is a royal marriage to Prince Alaric of Aerden, a union meant to secure peace, not love. Every choice is made for her, every word measured, every desire forbidden. Then comes Sir Cassian Dareth, her personal knight - a man of shadows and steel, whose loyalty is absolute, and whose presence awakens a dangerous fire within her. Forbidden, intoxicating, and relentless, their connection grows in stolen moments behind palace walls, where a single glance could spell ruin. The prince is polished, commanding, and ready to claim what he believes is rightfully his. But no crown, no command, no army can stand against the storm Cassian has vowed to unleash for her. Bound by duty, torn by desire, and facing a world that will never forgive them, Seraphine must decide whether to follow the path laid out for her... or risk everything for a love that could destroy them both.Complete

In a kingdom wrapped in shadows and whispered secrets, where loyalty is sold for gold and love is considered a dangerous weakness, some hearts are born not to shine... but to endure. In a palace where beauty is judged by skin and worth is decided by blood, silence becomes survival. Vidya was never meant to belong there. Eighteen years old, dark-skinned, quiet, and invisible to the world, she was the daughter of a royal advisor who dreamed not of crowns, but of freedom, knowledge, and a life beyond the palace walls. But fate dragged her into the palace as a backup bride - a replacement, a shadow, a girl meant to be forgotten. Books became her only escape. Freedom, her only dream. Disguised as a maid, she walked through corridors never meant for her footsteps. And that was when he saw her. Rudra - the crown prince. Twenty-one years old. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable.

When enemies rise and conspiracies unfold, will Rudra choose the crown... or the girl the palace tried to erase? And will Vidya survive loving a prince who was never taught how to love? Will two hearts survive the shadows of the throne?
