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.

Life Before Amarok (3)
The late afternoon sun poured through the high windows of the twins' grand chamber, casting long shadows across the marble floor.
Lucian lounged on a velvet chaise, his dark hair falling over his forehead as he leafed through a book of military strategy.
Julian, reclining on the bed they shared, was idly tossing a golden coin into the air, catching it each time with a flick of his wrist.
The sound of the coin's soft clink and the rustle of Lucian's pages were the only noises in the otherwise silent room.
"Lucian," Julian drawled, his voice tinged with boredom, "how long do you think this one will last?"
Lucian glanced up from his book, his sharp green eyes meeting his twin's with a smirk. "This one? Not long, I wager. He's already trembling whenever we call for him."
Julian chuckled, flipping the coin again. "They always do. I think we might've gone too hard on him yesterday. Did you see the way he almost dropped the tray at breakfast?"
