As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

The Earth's atmosphere is barely breathable in some areas, and society is divided into highly controlled, isolated Zones. These Zones are managed by an all-powerful governing body called The Ascendancy, which uses a combination of surveillance, propaganda, and strict population control to maintain order. Beneath the surface, however, a rebellion is brewing. Youth, especially those born in the years after the Ascendancy's rise to power, have begun questioning the truth about the world they live in, and their place in it. In the midst of this unrest, a group of teenagers discovers an ancient artifact, believed to be a key to unlocking the world's true history and the secrets of the Ascendancy's origins.

The Clockwork Heir
In the heart of a bustling steampunk city, 18-year-old Liora is an orphan working as a clockmaker's apprentice. Her life is ordinary, if not a little dull, until the day an enigmatic customer brings in a peculiar device: a clockwork box engraved with glowing symbols. "Fix this," the customer whispers, "and you'll uncover your destiny." Liora's curiosity outweighs her caution. She spends nights studying the box, discovering that it's not a clock-it's a map. When activated, it projects a shimmering route leading to the fabled "Vault of Aeons," a legendary artifact said to grant its possessor mastery over time itself. Before Liora can make sense of her discovery, she's attacked by a group of shadowy figures, revealing that others seek the box. Fleeing for her life, she's rescued by a roguish skyship captain named Cyrus, who offers her safe passage-if she splits the treasure with him. Reluctantly, Liora agrees, and they set off on an adventure filled with treacherous airship battles, hidden traps, and ancient riddles. As they journey, Liora uncovers secrets about her past. Her parents were not mere clockmakers but key members of an ancient order tasked with guarding the Vault. Her connection to the artifact is stronger than she ever imagined, and unlocking it might not just reshape her future-but rewrite the fabric of time itself. But the closer they get to the Vault, the more dangerous their path becomes. Rival treasure hunters, a crumbling alliance with Cyrus, and the revelation of the artifact's dark cost force Liora to make an impossible choice: seize the power to change the past or protect the present.
