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.

Darker Plan
When Prince Carl of Mbuzuoria arrived at the palace, he had barely stepped off the carriage when a guard informed him that his father had summoned him immediately. Caledon instantly, knew something was wrong, they're in trouble.
He stole a glance at the prince. He expected to see some hint of worry, maybe even regret. But what he saw instead made his heart skip a beat.
Carl was smirking, his lips curling into a sly grin that betrayed none of the fear or anxiety Caledon had anticipated. It was as though he relished the confrontation awaiting him. Caledon furrowed his brow in confusion, unsure of what was going on in Carl's mind.
"What is he thinking?" Caledon wondered, his throat tightening with dread.
Carl's calm unnerved him. After all, they had failed to execute the assassination at the Zephyros wedding, a plan that had been meticulously crafted for months.
