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.

Valeidio Royals Are Here
The early morning sun bathed the palace in a golden glow, casting long shadows across the courtyard as Eirik strolled aimlessly through the corridors. His steps were slower than usual, a reflection of the nervous energy buzzing inside him.
Today was the day. His family, the Valeidio Royals, were supposed to arrive at Zephyros, and while the excitement coursed through him, so did an unshakable anxiety. After so long away from them, Eirik wasn't sure what to expect.
He hadn't seen them in so long. His mind raced with thoughts, his brothers, his cousins, the inevitable teasing, and perhaps more importantly, the judgment they would pass on his new life here in Zephyros.
As he walked through the gardens, past fountains and marble statues, deep in thought. What would they think of him now? Would they notice how much he had changed since arriving in Zephyros?
