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.

Inspired by the Eyes
Eirik awoke slowly, his vision blurred, and his body felt heavy and weak, as if his limbs had been weighed down by an unseen force.
His head throbbed painfully, and the last thing he remembered was Sadiki's face, the look in his eyes right before everything went black.
Now, he was lying on a soft bed, his body strangely positioned, and as his vision cleared, panic surged through him.
He was tied up. His wrists were bound to the headboard, his ankles strapped tightly to the bedposts.
The ropes bit into his skin, raw and unforgiving, leaving him no room for movement.
The room was unfamiliar, but one thing was certain, it was overwhelming in its intensity.
Everything was purple. The walls, the curtains, even the bedspread underneath him, all shades of deep violet, lavender, and lilac.
