"Warrior, Fallen Princess, Survivor. A war looms and she must fight not only for her kingdom but for her very soul" After years of exile Khali Virella the dark princess once bound by duty and blood, is summoned back to her homeland Vallisk. Whispers of war spread like wildfire, beasts of shadow and bone creep across the land, and an ancient enemy long thought vanquished stirs once more.

However, her most difficult task is to work alongside Elias Rurik. Their past is steeped in blood, and his presence ignites a storm of fury within her. With kingdoms on the edge of destruction, Khali discovers something far worse than ancient horrors-a truth that threatens to break the chains she has formed around her heart. Khali must navigate a court of vipers, uncover the truth about her past. But as darkness rises, one truth becomes clear: the greatest threat is not the creatures of the past, but the secrets buried within her heart.Complete
The Hollow Prince
COMPLETED. *NSFW* Auralie doesn't believe in fae stories-not the ones whispered by dying villagers, not the ones about cursed woods or monsters that eat your heart. But when girls begin to vanish and strange symbols bleed from the bark of the forest, she crosses the veil in search of answers. What she finds is him. Unmoving. Inhuman. Wearing a crown of antlers and eyes like cut emeralds, sharp with amusement. He speaks in riddles. Smiles like a threat. And calls her little moth, like a name he's been saving. The first time they meet, she draws his blood. The second, he offers her a bargain. The third, he consumes her. The Hollow Prince says worse things hunt her now-creatures that wear her face, sing her name, and slip into her dreams. He claims he's the only thing standing between her and the dark. But the deeper Auralie goes, the more twisted the forest becomes-and the harder it is to tell whether the prince is her captor, her shield, or the very thing she was warned to fear. There is a curse. A game. And a price that was never hers to pay.Complete
The Forest of Lights
Long ago, in a kingdom ruled by silence, two princesses dared to speak. Thana and Khalida were sisters bound by blood but divided by destiny. Together they formed the Guerrillas, a secret band of warrior women fighting for justice in a land that denied them power. But when one sister dares to enter the forbidden heart of their realm-the Forest of Lights, a place of both refuge and fear-a single prophecy brings secrets to light and fractures the bond they believed was unbreakable. In a world where light can deceive and darkness can guide, only the truth within their shattered hearts can save what remains. ~~ The story is finally complete! I'd appreciate your reads so much. ❤ The second book of the series is a work in progress (but may never be finished due to my co-writer disappearing) Note: no, this book has nothing to do with The Bringer of Light, the titles are accidentally similar. I'll try not to put "light" in my next book title lol TRIGGER WARNING: suicide, violence, mental health issuesComplete
