“Together, Ayna… Together, we’re eternal.”

Trading one prison for another, one kingdom for the next—there’s no escape for Ayna.

Myron is free, but freedom comes at steep cost.

Back in Erina’s gilded prison, Ayna has one goal: escape. But with the King of Tavras holding her captive and her sister’s sacrifice keeping her from running, she’s forced to play a dangerous game. If she fails to outmaneuver Erina, she'll never break free. But waiting for Myron to return might risk everything they’ve fought for.

As long as Myron remains free, there’s still hope.

While Ayna fights to stay strong, Myron is racing to save what’s left of his court. With the help of a fairy princess and an Askarean general, he prepares for the looming threat of Tavras, armed with magic-suppressing weapons. But Tavras isn’t the only enemy. The Flames still seek revenge, and without a powerful ally, Myron’s court is doomed. An ancient enemy might just be the ally he needs.

Her Wings series, particularly the Wings Trilogy, became a beacon for fans of supernatural romance and dark fantasy. The series, brimming with forbidden love and epic battles between light and darkness, quickly found a loyal following. In these pages, Steffort invites readers to step into worlds where every choice is steeped in destiny, where characters’ bonds are tested by both heartache and unyielding passion.

Not one to settle into a single genre, Steffort expanded her horizons with the Shattered Kingdom series—a sweeping epic that blends political intrigue with powerful magic. Known for its intricate world-building and emotionally charged characters, this series appeals to fans of both high fantasy and the complex, layered narratives of authors like Sarah J. Maas. Steffort’s worlds are alive with detail, and her characters grapple with real, sometimes painful choices that resonate on a deeply human level, no matter how fantastical the setting.

Residing in Vienna with her family, Steffort continues to weave her stories, creating new universes for her readers to lose themselves in. Each novel she writes is more than just a tale—it’s an invitation to journey with characters whose hearts beat just as fiercely as ours. Her books aren’t just about escape; they’re about connection, the kind that lingers long after the last page is turned. Whether you’re drawn to tales of romance, magic, or both, Steffort’s work offers something for every reader looking to explore the complex intersection of love, power, and destiny.
