A Royal Obligation
In a realm of four kingdoms, two were on the verge of war. Prince Eirik, the fourth prince of Valeidio, a Ferre whose beauty could rival the gods, was thrust into a marriage alliance with Prince Kaelix, the strong and proud heir of Zephyros. Both princes were determined to fight against the fate that had been forced on them. Eirik resented being used as a pawn, while Kaelix saw the alliance as a threat to his freedom. As they clashed in a battle of wills, their encounters became a constant push and pull of resistance and pride. But as the pressures of duty mounted, the lines between obligation and desire began to blur. In their struggle against their forced union, they found themselves drawn toward each other in ways they never expected. Would their bond become a weapon against the war or would their kingdoms' rivalries destroy any chance of love before it could take root? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes.

She'll Pull Through
The halls of the Zephyros palace had grown unnervingly quiet since the queen collapsed. What was once a place filled with bustling servants, regal gatherings, and lively royal banter now felt heavy with uncertainty and tension.
Weeks had passed, and the queen had yet to awaken. Despite the constant care of the best physicians in the kingdom, no one had been able to determine what was wrong with her. Each failed diagnosis only deepened the cloud of anxiety hanging over the palace.
The king had barely left her side since it happened. He could often be found seated by her bed, holding her hand, his usually composed face worn with worry and exhaustion. His eyes rarely left her still form, and though he had trusted Kaelix to take over his royal duties temporarily, it was clear the weight of his wife's condition was slowly crushing him.
