Royal siblings Lirien and Cael share a forbidden bond and the raw, hedonistic magic of the Elderwood. Learning their power is unlocked by transgressive pleasure, they embrace a dark prophecy to overthrow their tyrannical father.
Their rebellion begins with seduction, as they corrupt the King's guard in a hedonistic orgy. To complete their transformation, they shatter their mother's spirit, rebirthing her as the high priestess of their new faith. Humiliated, the King abandons his throne to hide in the palace walls, leaving his children to rule.
Lirien and Cael turn the court into a temple of indulgence, using their magic to destroy the old symbols of power. But as their reign of pleasure begins, the forgotten King festers in the darkness, plotting a final, desperate revenge.

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 Offering

As desire grows and loyalties are tested, Daella begins to unravel the lies behind the treaty that stole her freedom.
