Book One: Princess of Cinders & Secrets
A servant girl afraid of being seen. A prince desperate to know her heart.
Ella has spent her life yielding to others, molding herself to fit expectations, and staying invisible to avoid the pain of being truly seen.
While the other servants prepare the palace for another day, Ella hides the bruises her family leaves behind and tells herself it’s what she deserves. But everything changes with one accidental encounter with the crown prince, one that was never meant to happen… and, she insists, must never happen again.
Yet the moment becomes a memory she can’t forget. The prince’s fleeting glances and kind words persuade her to lower the walls she’s constructed around her heart, and for the first time, Ella feels seen. While she reminds her heart time and time again that a prince could never choose a servant, he seems determined to prove otherwise.
When love demands courage and healing requires a painful choice, will Ella dare to believe she’s worthy of something more—or let her others once again steal her chance at happily ever after?
Book Two: Princess of Curses & Croaks
An opinionated chambermaid. An arrogant prince. A dangerous magic between them.
After her father's death, Lyra keeps her head down in the royal palace, suppressing the strange powers she barely understands. Her father believed her simple textile magic could make her more than a servant. Lyra knows better.
Until, one late night in the palace gardens, she meets Prince Thomas.
Prideful, privileged, and infuriatingly clever, Thomas embodies everything Lyra resents about the upper class she serves. Yet their late-night encounters awaken her long-buried desire to train in magic. And when the prince himself offers to teach her for a trade, Lyra can’t resist the chance to become something more.
As the secret lessons stretch into months, Lyra’s magic proves more powerful and dangerous than she expected. With a mysterious plague spreading across the kingdom and unrest brewing among noble families, Lyra is forced to choose between the life she’s always known and the prince who threatens to upend her entire world.
Will she dare to risk her heart—and the life she'd planned to settle for—to save the prince she once hated?
