The empire wanted a princess. The Emperor noticed the problem. Rivena Ferhalis was never meant to be chosen. She is the king's inconvenient niece: half-human, half-Fergha, too sharp for courtly manners, too restless for silk cages, and far too fond of daggers for anyone's peace of mind. Her cousin, Princess Liora, is everything a kingdom could offer an immortal Emperor: beautiful, gentle, obedient, and born to be sacrificed politely. When Vaelor Veyrath arrives at Elyrven Court under the ancient Star-Bond Edict, the palace learns what fear looks like when it wears a crown. He is beautiful. Cruel. Ancient. Bored by obedience and amused by terror. Rivena should stay silent. She does not. One reckless insult becomes a glance. One glance becomes a game. One game becomes something far more dangerous than either of them is willing to name. But beneath the court's golden ceremonies, rebellion is already moving. Kingdoms whisper treason behind jeweled hands. Blood is spilled in the name of freedom. And when rebel fire tears through Elyrven Court, Rivena discovers that the Star-Bond may not be as simple, merciful, or obedient as anyone believed. Especially not when it begins to answer her. Because the Emperor may rule the stars. But Rivena Ferhalis has never been good at kneeling.

Poetry

The River Remembered Us Some loves are too vast for a single lifetime. They spill over, like rainwater finding old riverbeds again and again. In the first life, they are strangers on opposite banks of a cursed river-she a warrior-queen building a bridge to save her people, he the exiled architect who alone knows why the bridge keeps collapsing. They never touch. But when she drowns saving his blueprints, he writes her name into the stone foundation. The river learns it. In the second, a courtesan and a blind calligrapher. In the third, two enemy soldiers who burn a village together. In the fourth, a nun and a heretic who translate a forbidden scripture. In the fifth, a hunter and a shape-shifting deer. In the sixth, a librarian and a ghost during a war that erases history. And in the seventh-the last lifetime the river will grant before forgetting-a cynical hydrologist discovers that every major flood in history has followed the same invisible path. A folklorist tells her it's not a fault line. It's a memory. Over seven lifetimes, The River Remembered Us is not a romance about finding each other. It is a romance about what happens after: the guilt of forgetting first, the exhaustion of remembering alone, the quiet violence of loving someone for the seven hundredth time, and the question they ask at every riverbank across every century: Is this the life where we finally stop? Or the one where we finally stay? Because the river remembers everything-except why it ever started.
