The Kingdom of Aerilas has been under great strain since Awron's rebellion ceased eight years ago. The tension only escalating further as lies spindle and wrap themselves around the throne atop Monarchs's Peak, plots involving religious zealots and a thin layer of trust between those in the council only makes the foundation even weaker.
A sinister chain of events thrusts several individuals into and across the vast, but beautiful realms within Aerilas. They must adapt to their surroundings and rely on new allies in order to survive. Some fight for their birthright, others for power, but some fight because that is all they have ever known.
The heroes each travel their own paths for redemption, justice or personal gain, occasionally discovering one another and sometimes under hostile circumstances...
Political intrigue, the prospect of war and rumours of Royal bastards ripple throughout the vibrant Kobren forest, to the golden deserts of the Solharan plains, and even beyond the treacherous peaks of the Crawke mountain line.

All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
