Mistress Of Fates (The Darker Side Of Destiny #1)
Revelyn Perric knows the price of a human soul—because she sold her own for power.
As the masked Mistress of Fates, she paints new destinies for Strelloc’s elite, burying the trauma of her poverty-stricken childhood beneath sprawling palaces and chests of jewels. Once a starving girl, now draped in silk and diamonds, Revelyn has no intention of surrendering the life she fought for—no matter who pays the price.
But when her magic leaves a trail of devastation too great to ignore, the moon goddesses who gave Revelyn her magic turn on her. They place the Sycksal—the only weapon capable of killing a magic wielder—into the hands of Osweld, a gruff farmer with every reason to see her dead.
Desperate to survive, Revelyn disguises herself as a peasant to infiltrate Osweld’s quiet farm life and steal the dagger. But amid the grueling labor and forced proximity with the man sent to kill her, Revelyn finds herself falling for the protective and unexpectedly kind Osweld and learning that wealth is more than jewels and gilded halls.
When the consequences of her past finally close in, Revelyn must choose: cling to the gilded life she’s grown used to, or become someone new.
Even if redemption costs her everything.
Maiden of Death (The Darker Side Of Destiny #2)
Priscylla Elsander has spent her life trying—and failing—to become the healer she was meant to be.
As the daughter of the kingdom’s most legendary healer, greatness was always expected of her, but no matter how hard she trains, she cannot seem to master the art she was raised for, or silence the pull inside her that craves more than simply mending flesh.
When a deadly plague sweeps through a village under her care, panic turns to blame, and Priscylla is cast out as the Maiden of Death.
Alone and hunted, she finds refuge in the capital, where fate places her in the path of a distant, iron-willed king who keeps the world at arm’s length. Yet he is the only one who sees something more in her—and she begins to see the man beneath the crown, quietly carrying more than he lets the world see.
When a desperate plea from her estranged sister pulls her back to the home she fled years ago, Priscylla is forced to confront the past she’s never escaped—and a truth far more dangerous than disease.
Ancient gods are rising.
And something within her is answering.
As her power begins to awaken in ways she cannot understand, Priscylla must decide who she is beyond her mother’s shadow… and whether she is brave enough to become it. Because the closer she grows to the king, the more she risks losing him.
And in a world where even gods can fall, the line between salvation and destruction may rest in her hands.
