For the first time in its history, the kingdom of Ibiri crowns a woman as heir-and the neighboring empire of Sovin vows that she will never rule.
Through years of manipulation, propaganda, and bloodshed, Sovin turns Princess Eloiza into an enemy of her own people, until the day she comes of age and invasion becomes inevitable.
As borders collapse and terror sweeps through her homeland, Ibiri's desperate nobles force the king to accept the one fate their bloodline has feared for centuries: a pact with the enemy.
To buy peace, Eloiza is sent to Sovin as the future bride of the very prince raised to conquer her world.
Far from home and surrounded by those who celebrate her downfall, the princess becomes a royal hostage in all but name. But victory is never as simple as Sovin imagined. Loyalties crack. Brothers spill brothers' blood. Fathers fall to their sons. Ambition tightens its grip, and the weak are devoured.
And while Ibiri and Sovin tear each other apart in their struggle for power, something ancient-something that once reduced empires to ash-awakens across the sea.
The shadows of the old world are rising again, and they are moving toward the present.

The Secrets of the Itaryian Spring
Every ten years, spring returns to the realm of Itaryia. And with it - the Gathering. For one year, the five ancient kingdoms reunite to preserve a fragile peace. But this time, the Council resurrects the Rings of Union - a forbidden ritual that binds royal heirs into marriages chosen by magic itself. Esra of Altamir, the quiet princess who prefers science to politics, never expected her name to be called. Yet when the spell begins, something goes terribly wrong. Her eyes, meant to turn the color of her husband's, flash crimson - a hue unseen for centuries - before splitting into two mismatched shades. The omen shatters the ceremony. The prince she was to wed turns into a beast before the court. The earth trembles. Her father falls trying to protect her. And Esra's destiny fractures in an instant. Fleeing across the sea with enemies at her back and secrets in her blood, Esra discovers that her curse is the key to an ancient power - one that could either restore spring... or end it forever. A story of magic, identity, and impossible love. The Secrets of the Itaryian Spring is a lush, cinematic fantasy about the cost of destiny - where beauty is dangerous, and every choice can reshape the world.Concluida
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.
HYBRID OF THE FALLEN
Seraphina's world crumbled on her 18th birthday when her family's darkest secret was laid bare for the entire pack to see. Her mother had committed the ultimate sin-an affair with a Fallen, a tribe of fierce warriors with black wings, locked in a bitter feud with the werewolf kingdom. For that crime, her mother was burned at the stake, and Seraphina was cast aside by her father and sister, left to rot in the royal pack as nothing more than a slave. Her life became a cycle of pain, fear, and regret. Every night, she clung to the hope of her fated mate, the one person destined to love her. But when he appeared, he wasn't just anyone-he was the returning prince, the future king of the werewolves. And instead of saving her, he shattered her with rejection, disgusted by her tainted blood-half fallen, half wolf, an abomination. Broken, without a wolf, and branded a disgrace, Seraphina believed she had nothing left. Until the day she discovered the impossible truth-her second mate.
Crown me, Curse me
In a kingdom built on secrets and blood-soaked crowns, Lureila never wanted to be queen. But when fate binds her to King Ace, a ruthless ruler feared by all, she finds herself trapped in a marriage forged from vengeance and deception. Ace is cold, calculating, and dangerously unreadable. To the court, he is a king without weakness. To Lureila, he is the man who took everything from her. But as whispers of rebellion stir and ancient prophecies resurface, she realizes that her hatred might not be enough to survive what's coming. Because the truth is more horrifying than the lies. Every queen before her has vanished. Every heir born has shaped the kingdom's fate-for better or worse. And now, with war looming and a prophecy hanging over her unborn child, Lureila must uncover the secret that has doomed generations of queens before her. The key to breaking the curse isn't their child. It's her. But Ace has spent his life guarding that truth. And if Lureila dares to defy history, she might not only destroy the kingdom-she might destroy the man who was never supposed to love her. Perfect for fans of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, morally gray rulers, and dark fantasy intrigue, Crown me, Curse me is a tale of power, fate, and a love that could either shatter the world or save itConcluida
Of Dragon and Sorrows - Book 1
A Kingdom Forged in Blood. A War Born of Lies. A Destiny Written Beneath the Moon.** For ten long years, the Noble Houses of Devraen and the Tribe of the Sea have drowned the North in frost and fury. What began as a single act of violence has become a war of pride, grief, and vengeance - a war no one truly understands. When the battlefield falls silent and the last embers die, Meher - the fallen heir of the Tribe of the Sea - must kneel before the king he once swore to destroy. With lives bleeding out behind him and his honor in chains, he accepts a bitter truth: Sometimes, peace demands more courage than war. But Devraen is not built on mercy. Beneath golden crowns and sacred banners, shadows move. Truth is twisted. Allegiances rot. And a serpent in black armor smiles beneath a borrowed light. As Meher and Amane uncover whispers of a hidden force - one that fueled the conflict for its own design - they must choose: Serve the kingdom that shattered them... or expose a darkness ancient as the snow, patient as the sea. Loyalties will break. Secrets will rise. And the North will learn: Not all enemies wield swords. Some wear crowns. Some offer peace. And some... are born in shadow.
