So when Egil is murdered the night before the wedding, all eyes turn to Kalinda in accusation. Now the kingdoms are either fighting to provide her refuge, or destroy her completely. But as Kalinda flees to escape with her life, she discovers that she is not the only one who's keeping secrets.

The Reckoner
"And why do you need me?" "Well, you see, little queen, you're to marry my brother." There's silence and then, "Marry your brother?! Ha! You're more of a fool then I thought."

"You're going to marry him, little queen," he says softly, "or you and your entire county will go up in flames." As I stare into his soulless eyes, I don't doubt his threat. "Who are you?" I whisper. "I thought you were smarter than that," he shakes his head and moves back to his position in front of me and Lomech. "Sweetheart, I am the Reckoner." ~There once were dragons. There once was love.

As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

The Prince's Gamble
When Crown Prince Alaric of Eldoria is ordered to choose a bride to secure the line, the court arranges a spectacle of trials-tests of strength, statecraft, and worth-meant to end in a tidy alliance. What no one plans for is Prince Dorian of Caerthwyn, whose quiet courage, riverborn instincts, and inconvenient honesty turn duty into a dangerous question. As suitors circle and factions sharpen their smiles, a flood exposes rot in the city's ledgers, whispers harden into sabotage, and a coded threat rises on the tide. On the eve of vows, bells break the night and Eldoria burns. In the chaos that follows, Alaric, Dorian, and a warrior-consort candidate, Nyra Ashfall, must hold the line-one with law, one with water, one with steel-while grief and politics try to pull the kingdom apart. What begins as a prince's performance becomes a fight to redesign the future: succession rewritten in daylight, power made transparent, and love asked to be more than a secret. Allies become family, a city learns to cheer for truth over rumor, and a throne discovers it can be carried by two steady hands. The Prince's Gamble is a romantic fantasy of palace intrigue and public courage-a slow-burn, M/M royal romance with a true happily-ever-after, a fierce female ally who refuses to be anyone's obstacle, and a kingdom brave enough to choose the leaders who saved it. Duty starts the story. Love finishes it.Complete
