Order built the city. Chaos set them free. ​For decades, High Inspector Aurelius Vance lived a life governed by absolute precision. As an elite enforcer of Silverglen-a glittering city of quartz spires sustained by parasitically draining the surrounding wildlands-he was trained to view duty, balance, and cold logic as the highest virtues. ​That was before he met Puck. ​A sharp-witted Unseelie rogue with amber eyes and a crown of black briars, Puck represents everything Aurelius was taught to fear: unpredictable magic, raw emotion, and chaotic freedom. But when Aurelius shatters the Heart-Stone to stop Silverglen's parasitic destruction, he is branded a traitor, and his only path forward lies in an uneasy alliance with the trickster who breached his walls. ​Together, they launch a daring insurgency through street-to-street combat to bring down the tyrannical High Council. In the fires of rebellion, Aurelius's own magic evolves into something entirely unprecedented-a rare hybrid power fusing rigid High Elf hard-light with wild Fea earth magic. ​When the city falls and transforms into a shared realm, Aurelius turns his back on political power. Choosing freedom over duty, he and Puck set off down the unmapped Southern Highway. Confronting rogue mercenaries, ancient coastal ruins, and the trauma of their pasts, the two discover that their greatest journey isn't surviving the road-it's accepting the deep, transformative bond blooming between them.

Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.
