A young girl is kept in the confinement of the new King Orian.  She can't remember life beyond the stone walls of the dungeon, all she knows is the king has a purpose for her but no one yet knows what it is.  Will she find out or will a guard who shows unexpected kindness set her free, before her dark secrets are revealed? 

The era is roughly set in the Middle Ages but I'm no historian. This book has long chapters and takes time in creating the world of shattered.  There is romance and mystery but all good things will be revealed in time.  I also hope to eventually change the name of the book to The Envoy but for now it is shattered.  Thank you for your time and feel free to check out my work.

8 parts Ongoing Mature
She was ordered to kill. He was ordered to protect. Are their souls destined to intertwine? In a world where magic is forbidden, two of the deadliest people are about to collide. Talia Nightshade is a ruthless assassin with a singular mission: kill the last heir of the Crescent Moon Dynasty, whose bloodline holds the key to unimaginable power. Darius Graves, the enigmatic Guardian, who is sworn to protect the realm from all threats-even those that come cloaked in beauty and darkness. As their paths cross in a deadly game of cat and mouse, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur. Talia is prepared to kill without hesitation, and the only thing standing in her way is Darius. But Darius is unlike any challenge she's had to face before-dangerous, cunning, and maddeningly irresistible. Bound by their conflicting missions and haunted by the secrets of their pasts, they find themselves drawn into a web of bloodshed and betrayal where trust is a luxury neither can afford. With every clash of their swords, their connection deepens, leaving Talia questioning her resolve and Darius doubting his loyalty. But in a world where betrayal is a deadly currency and magic is a force too powerful to be tamed, their growing attraction could be their undoing. With forces conspiring against them and the fate of the realm hanging in the balance, Talia and Darius must make an impossible choice: remain loyal to their missions or surrender to the desire that could destroy them both. In the end, they will discover that sometimes the most dangerous enemy is the one who holds your heart. "Blood and Betrayal" is a gripping tale of passion, power, and the thin line between love and hate. Will they sacrifice everything for the sake of their destinies , or will love prove to be the ultimate betrayal?

***WINNER of the "BREATHTAKING: A FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WRITING COMPETITION!" "You are a secret kept from the world, but not from me." So begins the peculiar message found slipped under a bedroom door on the morning of May first. Theo is the heir to a powerful dictatorship. The number of people allowed to know he exists is few. He has spent his entire life walled up in the Tower, the looming stone monolith from which his father rules over the Land. Merryn is the daughter of political prisoners. She's known who Theo is longer than he would think possible, and she is taking a great risk contacting him via handwritten notes in order to convince him he deserves more than the fate his father has designed for him. She has one month to exchange daily messages with him, to answer his questions and open his eyes to the realities of a world he has never been allowed to see. A revolution is coming to the Land at the end of the month, and if Merryn's notes fail to get their point across, Theo may never live to see the sunrise on June first. A/N: The following letters were originally published each day from May 1st-31st, 2014. As you will see,Theo is allowed to write down a question for Merryn each evening, but you, the reader, won't see these within the body of the story. It may or may not be obvious from Merryn's response what Theo is asking. Part of the fun is guessing what his questions might be, but if you really want to know what they are, a list of those questions is at the end of the story. This story is a re-imagining of Rapunzel. Now, without further ado-I believe a young heir is about to unfold a slip of paper found on the tile floor near his door... Let's see what it says!

As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning. Adjusting to her new life in the Ember Court with her insufferable enemy-turned-friend Kesserian Cinis, Wren is forced to face the truth of how close the six courts of Naturian are to a civil war, with Nox and Wren leading the opposing sides. But the fight for allies she can trust might turn out to be just as hard as her internal fight: coming to terms with her true identity. With the loyalties and beliefs of her past and present self at war with each other, Wren must decide who she is and what she stands for if she has any hope of surviving this upcoming war. Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward. With the weight of a crumbling nation on her shoulders, Wren has one chance to fix the injustices that plague Naturian and achieve her dreams of toppling tyranny, but the alluring power of the throne might prove too intoxicating for even her to resist. A fight for her loved ones. A fight for the oppressed. A fight to save the remaining good in Naturian. The chains have been released. Now the real fight begins.

Taken away from her at a young age were the only two people who would love her no matter what-her parents. Their love was all-consuming, the kind that anchored her, until the day it vanished in a single breath, a flash of arrows. Now, all she had left was the memory of that love-a fragile thread she clung to, one that only made the darkness around her grow deeper. By the age of nineteen, Valrie and her sister found themselves in an orphan house, working the land to survive. They grew and harvested ingredients, selling them to market buyers and the kingdom to stay afloat. But desperation leads to mistakes, and one day, they were caught "stealing" from the kingdom itself. The punishment was swift, and they were dragged to Eirondale-a breathtaking kingdom with towering castles and lush landscapes, ruled by a cold-hearted dynasty that thrives on power and control. The beauty of the kingdom was suffocating, like a thorned rose, stunning yet deadly. Among the grand halls and cold stone walls, Valrie soon caught the eye of not one, but two princely brothers, both equally dangerous and cruel in their own ways. But it wasn't just the princes. The King-ruthless and feared-had taken a darker interest in Valrie. In this world of beauty and malice, where power ruled and compassion was scarce, Valrie had unknowingly become a pawn in a game far more sinister than she could have imagined. Now, she had to navigate the dangers of a royal court, where everyone wore a mask of grace but wielded daggers of ambition and deceit behind their backs. The princes might toy with her heart, but the King... he could destroy her entirely.

"I closed my eyes with a sigh. I could feel the darkness around me sucking me in deeper and deeper; suffocating me. I just want to end it all. All the voices, all the fear, all the rules. I want freedom. This can't be what my life is like. I need a change. I stood up from my place on my bed to move to my balcony. I could see the entire kingdom from here. But I knew I wasn't the one in charge. For some intolerable reason, I cannot rule over the world I've known for years. I grew up in the Kingdom of Alathia. I'm the princess for gods sake. But my father believes I am unfit to be a king since I am a women. So I have to marry. All my life he has told me what to do. Him and my mother!" Princess Maria is trapped in the destiny of being queen and being forced to marry a rising king whom she hates with every fiber of her being. She was taught to be the perfect wife was to be the perfect queen. Quiet. Submissive. Loyal. Innocent. While trying to accept her future, she is faced with unholy nightmares, a test of dignity, and a double life to have even the slightest chance of freedom. Would she be able to create her own destiny? Would she eventually have the freedom she longed for? Or would a thief ruin her chances completely by striking a deal and making her face a fate worst than the destiny she was born with?
