dark new adult fantasy

Fantasy author Kyla knows dreams don't come true. Isolated and grappling with debilitating depression, she copes by writing about the realm of Solera. Fearless heroes, feisty shapeshifters, and mighty dragons come alive on her pages. She adores her characters, but she doesn’t believe in happy endings. And if she can’t have one, why should they?

Born to privilege. Trained for war. Elivya wants what every noble son takes for granted: strength, respect, and the right to wield a blade. But duty and family have always come first, and the only way to save her House from ruin is to take her place in society. Trained in both wit and warfare, the impetuous young heiress will need every skill in her arsenal to survive King Amenon's Court.
