My eyes focused on the staff behind the bar, searching for someone to take my order. That's when I felt the air around me change, it was like someone had turned down the volume and I felt a wave of energy roll towards me.
"I know what you are," he whispered into my ear as I felt his power crash towards me and absorb in through my skin.
-----------
Present day London is the backdrop for a medieval style power play for the magical throne, where five families of influence fight for power and control, all with their own motives. In the middle of this struggle, stumbles in an art university graduate and photographer Cara, who believes in the power of music and certainly not the power of magic. She quickly learns that she is something that has been raised up to mythical proportions - an ordinary human who has the power to suck the magic out of any warlock.

The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy)
Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court.

The Forged Royal
I'm supposed to be the Queen of Light-training, sparkling, smiling, ruling. Easy, right? Wrong. Enter Damian: frustrating, infuriating, dangerously irresistible. He's new. He's charming. And somehow, he's about to make my carefully perfect world explode. Eclipse Heaven is supposed to be my stage: magic at my fingertips, friends at my side, enemies under my heel. But monsters are stalking the halls, my ex is plotting my downfall, and Damian... oh, Damian keeps showing up exactly where he shouldn't. My instincts tell me to hate him.

Because sometimes the thing you're supposed to destroy... is exactly the thing you can't live without. In a school where light and shadow clash, where every step could be your last, and where love feels like a weapon-I'm learning the hardest lesson of all: hearts are never light... and neither am I.

Dark romantasy series, set in a world of fae and magic. 19 year old girl Catrina Elaris heir and daughter of light, perfect royal, perfect life but grief changes people.

The Duchesses
Aurora opens her eyes only to feel the agonising pain in her body. That is to be expected when there has been an accident. It's excruciatingly painful. Aurora groans in pain and pulls off the blanket, taking in her surroundings. It is more appropriate for a hospital interior design to look to the mediaeval era. Not shabby, but more on the extravagant side. The nurses' attire, on the other hand, appears odd. Someone said out of nowhere, "Her Grace, please wake up! Call the doctor right away!" Aurora approaches the mirror and looks at the woman with deep red eyes in it. The woman had blonde hair that, while a little messy, flowed perfectly over her shoulder. Her fair complexion lends her an ethereal appearance. Not to mention that her outfits make her look like a noblewoman from a historical series. She pinches herself, only to realise that the blonde woman staring at her is herself. A thought struck her mind, as she utters her first statement in this world, "Fuck me". Medea has finished her work, but she is still unsure how to fix all of the messes. She hasn't been herself in a long time, and it's bothering her. The throne seems so far away, and the weight of the burden grows heavier with each passing day. A letter from the Imperial Palace has arrived, instructing the Duchess to look after the House of Smith's Duchess of Light, Natalie Wilson Smith. As an evil scheme was about to unfold, she smiled wickedly. 'This is my new card.' p/s: I can't find the original owner of the photo of the cover, if you know or you are the owner of the cover.
