Amara Veílamor has been trapped underneath a mountain for nearly three centuries, a mountain filled with dark and evil forces unknown to most of the magical races- all for except those who identify with the monsters beneath. Amara is one such creature; however, her heritage is combined with another ancient, deadly race: the Fae. This makes Amara not only one of the most deadliest weapons alive, but her human emotions and appearance allows her to engage and entangle herself in civilized society. The perfect assassin.
Prince Brendan Forvester Dalewood of Ariela has seen cruelty and tragedy sweep over Drudella since his ventures to serve as a general in the Kings army commanded by his father. Kingdom after kingdom has fallen under the iron fist. Only those who swear fealty to the king are allowed to practice magic, and those who refuse are executed or enslaved. Entire families have been slaughtered under the Kings rule. The prince discovered an evil lurking in the shadows, and is determined to destroy it and right past wrongs. He decides to employ one of the legendary deadly warriors underneath the Ashblack Mountain.
In a world where magic reigns, and evil forces lurk in the shadows threatening to devour Drudella, an assassin trained in single-man warfare must kill those in her path in order to protect what she loves most. Will the dashing young prince and lethal warrior work together to destroy the monsters creeping about? And will they perhaps be able to kill each other's inner monsters trying to claw their way out?

Echoes of Balance and Flame
Amara Valestra's life is anything but simple. Trapped in the heart of Malrathis, her powers suppressed by dark, painful restraints, she finds herself caught between two worlds-one she was born into and one she cannot escape. The fire that once burned so brightly within her now smolders, contained by chains of power she can barely comprehend. When a haunting dream reveals the deep, ancient forces that control her fate-forces of fire, healing, and a delicate balance between light and shadow - Amara is left with more questions than answers.. The marks she woke up with, etched into her skin, pulse with power, as though calling to something deeper inside her. The dream is a warning, a glimpse into the dangerous path she must walk to prevent the breaking of the world. With Kaelith's obsession growing, Amara must fight against more than just her captor's manipulations. Her own inner turmoil threatens to consume her, and the choice between love, freedom, and power becomes an impossible one. As her fire begins to burn once more, so too does the knowledge of the devastating consequences it could unleash-both for her and for the fragile balance of the realms. But her past isn't easy to leave behind. Calder, the one she chose to save over herself, lingers in her mind. Though she can't shake the memories of him-his touch, his kindness, the bond they share-he is far from her reach. As her inner fire begins to ignite again, their reunion may be the catalyst for something far greater than either of them could anticipate. As the balance between light and dark shifts, Amara must make a choice that will affect not only her fate but the fate of all realms. The flames inside her burn brighter than ever-but the question is, will they destroy everything, or will they save the world from the shadows that threaten to consume it?
