He drew his sword, impatient, and thrust it skillfully forward until 'twas no more than three-fourths of a centimetre away from Erin's neck. She dared not move--not even breathe; any mistake can cause the princess her throat.
❝Where is the realmstone?❞
*****
To Erinella Armadus, Princess of Aurora, in the Internal Realm, the 'realmstone' was a familiar object. 'Twas created by great wizards many years ago, who divided the world into two realms: the Internal and the External, and allows a person to travel between the worlds. After disappearing for countless years, thieves recovered it, only for the watchmen to seize its possession. And when Erin finally got a hold of it out of curiosity, she figured out how to use it. She journeyed to the External Realm, our modern world of supposed evil, with a short-lived quest to search for a lost wizard. But before long, she discovered romance, betrayal, and complicated turns in her path. And then, she found herself amidst a bloody struggle of which she has little control.

For The Sword
"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series
