In this story, the world is called Eurona. There are five lands, or kingdoms, in Eurona:
Lochlanach: The Waterlands (primary setting)
Ascomanni: The Coldlands
Toresta: The Ridgelands
Zorfina: The Drylands
Kalor: The Hotlands
There are people who can perform magic with their hands, but it is outlawed. These magical people are called the Lashed, because when they do magic it causes a purple line to show under their nail, like a bruised lash mark.
I'm also working on the blurb. I will share this draft, but I'm certain the official blurb will change a bit before it's finalized. This one will give you a general idea, though. I seriously cannot wait for you to meet Aerity and Paxton.
Kill the beast. Win the girl.
A strange beast stirs fear in the kingdom of Lochlanach, terrorizing towns with its brutality and hunger. In an act of desperation, a proclamation is sent to all of Eurona-kill the creature and win the ultimate prize: the daughter of King Lochson's hand in marriage.
Princess Aerity understands her duty to the kingdom though it pains her to imagine marrying a stranger. It would be foolish to set her sights on any particular man in the great hunt, but when a brooding local hunter, Paxton Seabolt, catches her attention, there's no denying the unspoken lure between them...or his mysterious resentment.
Paxton is not keen on marriage. Nor does he care much for spoiled royals and their arcane laws. He's determined to keep his focus on the task at hand-ridding the kingdom of the beast and protecting his family-yet Princess Aerity continues to challenge his notions with her unpredictability and charm. But as past secrets collide with present desires, dire choices threaten everything Paxton holds dear.

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. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives.

But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games.

Island of Sorcerers
Deep within the vast ocean, hidden from the eyes of ordinary mortals, lies the Island of Sorcerers-a land blessed with magic and divided into seven great regions. Each village holds a power tied to the elements, ruled by gifted sorcerers who harness the forces of earth, air, water, and fire. At the heart of the island stand four legendary sorcerers-guardians of balance, protectors of their people. Bright, the Green Sorcerer of the East, master of Earth and Healing, walks among animals and commands nature. Mew, the Blue Sorcerer of the North, ruler of Water and Ice, capable of walking on water and summoning powerful waves. Gulf, the Red Sorcerer of the South, wielder of Fire and Lava, soaring through the skies in flames. Win, the Yellow Sorcerer of the West, master of Air and Invisibility, bending the winds to his will. Beyond their lands, in Uppertown, reside the Princes of Power-gifted warriors trained in the highest tower, waiting for the day their abilities would be called upon. For years, the island thrived in harmony. But darkness lurks beneath the surface. Ancient evils have awakened-beasts and sorcerers of destruction, each one tied to the elements they once ruled. A war is coming. A Black Lady, cursed with the form of a half-octopus, rises from the deepest waters, her whispers calling the tides to drown the land. A Lava Beast, born from the molten core of the southern volcano, erupts in flames, ready to consume all in its path. A Storm Phantom, hidden within the western mountains, gathers the winds of destruction, preparing to shatter the skies. A Black Destroyer, lurking beneath the fertile plains of the east, waits to turn life into nothingness. To protect the island, the four elemental sorcerers must unite their strength. The Princes of Uppertown must rise. And together, they must prepare for the greatest battle their world has ever seen. The war for the Island of Sorcerers has begun. ----- 📝Ven_WritesComplete
