Silver: The Lost Royal ✓
Karyn doesn't believe in magic... until the day it comes for her. When four mysterious students arrive at Emerfield High, Karyn's haunting dreams vanish, and so does her best friend. They claim Karyn belongs to Wlerden, a kingdom that remembers her far more than she remembers it. To them, she was going to save a nation on the brink of ruin. To her, it was a chance to finally uncover the truth about her parents' murder, a truth someone had gone to deadly lengths to keep buried. And she took it. But Wlerden is a world fractured by power, and the past Karyn chases may destroy her before she can claim it. As her powers spiral beyond her control, she must survive the hunt of monsters and men, and decide if she's ready to become something more than a missing heir. Logic meets Magic in this lyrical, thrilling, and fiercely original debut about legacy, loss, and the price of truth.

For the Fae King Kairos, they are not only his hope to save his crumbling Night Court from oblivion. They are a necessity to securing his rule and destroying those who oppose him. For Aylara Al'thaire, they bring only ruin. Aylara sees what others cannot: the golden threads of fate binding every soul to the connections they make in life. This gift has protected her human village for generations. But when Kairos's army storms her home, slaughtering all in their hunt for the fallen shards, her sight offers no escape. Only a bargain. To save her people, Aylara pledges herself to the Night King. In return for their lives, she will enter his treacherous court as his pawn-posed as his concubine, forced to use her unraveling gift to root out the traitor threatening his throne amidst the trials.
