-A crown of stars book I-
Gilryn Locklore, a highborn Lady of the Elvin Court, is an unfathomable beauty that prefers to spend her days wandering around the dark and dangerous Everforest.
With five elder brothers, she is not quite what one would describe a proper young lady to be. She hunts, fishes and has learned to fight with the best of them, yet none of this has prepared her for the journey that is laid out for her.
Her father, King Garrik of Ellavorn, has promised her to the prince of a much darker country than that of her own. She is to be sold, blood-bound to a man she has only ever had hatred for, but she will not stand down, will not subject herself to her fathers careless wishes, and so; she runs...
She runs as far as the Everforest will allow her to traipse, only to discover a land she had no idea existed along with a people that entrap her in their dungeon.
What awaits Gilryn on her journey? Will her scorned Prince come to her aid, only to imprison her in a cell of his own, or will she find herself connected to a people... to a man who wears the moon upon his neck.

God of Storms
God of Storms Book I in the Ruined Gods series The kingdom of Brumefall knows better than to wake their grief-stricken King. His rage is as relentless as the storms he commands, his wrath a legend whispered in fear. Yet a reckless dare leads Princess Aura Valienne of Elarion to do the unthinkable-climbing the fortress and rousing the slumbering storm after more than a century. Now, there is no escape. Faced with an ultimatum-death or servitude-Princess Aura is bound to King Gabriel Ashford until he decides she has paid for her mistake. But her royal blood is undeniable, and even as a prisoner, she refuses to break. There is more to Aura than just her lineage, and the Storm God senses it from the moment he sets his eyes on her. The longer she remains in his realm, the more the Princess realizes the feared King is not just a monster, but a man haunted by loss and fury. Despite the danger, she finds herself drawn to his tempest. Lord Adrian Lockworth, King Gabriel's closest friend and confidant, offers Princess Mary Valienne a place in the castle, ensuring the sisters do not have to be apart. His quiet admiration and gentle guidance offer a refuge amid the chaos, but as fate tightens its grip, even the softest hearts may be tested beyond anything they ever imagined. Some forces should never be woken. And some storms can never be tamed. "You locked me in like a prisoner." "You're not a prisoner. You're alive. There's a difference." "You think that justifies it?" "I think it kept you from being killed," he said flatly. "So yes, I do." Aura narrowed her eyes. "And what if I don't want to be safe at the cost of my freedom?" "And what if I don't want to lose you at the cost of your pride?" Copyright © 2025 by gardneranastasia ***All rights reserved.
