Seraphine Valemont has lived her life in gilded cages - trained to obey, to marry, to be the perfect heir. Her destiny is a royal marriage to Prince Alaric of Aerden, a union meant to secure peace, not love. Every choice is made for her, every word measured, every desire forbidden.
Then comes Sir Cassian Dareth, her personal knight - a man of shadows and steel, whose loyalty is absolute, and whose presence awakens a dangerous fire within her. Forbidden, intoxicating, and relentless, their connection grows in stolen moments behind palace walls, where a single glance could spell ruin.
The prince is polished, commanding, and ready to claim what he believes is rightfully his. But no crown, no command, no army can stand against the storm Cassian has vowed to unleash for her.
Bound by duty, torn by desire, and facing a world that will never forgive them, Seraphine must decide whether to follow the path laid out for her... or risk everything for a love that could destroy them both.

For The Sword
"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series

Enemies lurk in the shadows, waiting for the moment to strike. Suitors come not with love, but with hidden daggers, each one eager to claim her throne. But then he arrives. A man unlike any she has ever met-one who does not kneel, does not flinch beneath her gaze. A man with secrets as dark as her own, whose smirk is a challenge, whose touch ignites something unfamiliar within her. He does not seek to tame her; he seeks to match her. And for the first time in her life, Seraphina wonders: Has she finally met someone she cannot break? Or has she found the one person who can destroy her? A tale of blood, power, and the kind of love that consumes.Complete
The shadow and the crown 👑
Princess Seraphine Valeria was raised to rule, not to feel. Cold-eyed and sharp-minded, the heir of Eldoria has learned that love is a weakness and sentiment is a luxury reserved for those who do not sit near power. When her father secures a political marriage to strengthen the kingdom, she bows with grace-because obedience is strategy, and strategy is survival. But fate has always had a cruel sense of irony. Kael Draven, her sworn knight-silent, disciplined, and carved by war-has stood at her side for years. Feared by enemies, respected by kings. Bound to her by loyalty... and something far more dangerous. A foreign prince wants her hand. A kingdom demands her duty. But the only man who knows her heart is the one she cannot have. One is her future. One is her undoing. And power has never been won without sacrifice. Even ice melts. Especially when fire stands too close.

For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal.

Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Complete
