In a realm scorched by legacy and ruled by fireborne bloodlines, Maeve-an unassuming outsider-finds herself marked by a glyph that binds her to Kaelen, the crown prince forged in flame. But their bond isn't just magical-it's ancestral, mythic, and dangerously prophetic.

Together, Maeve and Kaelen ignite a revolution not just of magic, but of remembrance-challenging a kingdom built on erasure and threatening to unravel the very fire that holds it together. This is not a love story. It's a reckoning.

Ink&Shadows
Obsessively building a fantasy world with an AI as my co-author. (Tell me if anything feels off...) Finch Meridian's life is neat and predictable: a quiet archive, dust-heavy books, and a cat named Baron who acts like he pays the rent. That ends the moment her estranged father dies-and a government agent interrupts the funeral to call it murder. Finch is pulled into an investigation that won't stay politely shelved. Their only lead is a stack of cryptic notes. The path drags them into a jungle where the magic is raw, the creatures are hungry, and the past refuses to stay buried. Expect slow-burn romance, magical mysteries, a healthy dose of "we're probably going to die," and a cat who is the real main character.
