The Blade in the Ashes
Theadora Moore has lost everything.
With Hyrax now seated on the Athenian throne and the palace under Caldrius' control, Thea is trapped in a kingdom she no longer recognizes. Powerless and cut off from her magic, she must play the obedient heir while secretly searching for a way to end Hyrax's rule before the Mortal Realm falls to ruin.
Beyond the palace walls, Clayton Vail refuses to accept the loss of his kingdom. Joined by their closest allies, Clay races across the Mortal Realm to raise an army, gather ancient weapons, and save the woman he loves.
But Hyrax's influence is spreading, and with beasts from the Underworld now roaming freely, the realm stands on the brink of collapse. With every path forward shrouded in danger, Thea must find the courage to stand on her own--without magic, without her friends, without certainty.
To save her realm, Thea must finally defy the God of Death.

Arcadia Rayne
Arcadia Rayne doesn’t write to escape reality—she writes to rewrite it. Her stories are threaded with shadows and silk, weaving together fantasy and romance in a way that feels both intimate and epic. With a deep love for myth, memory, and morally complex characters, she builds worlds where every choice echoes, every kiss matters, and nothing—especially love—comes without a cost.
While her name is still emerging in the fantasy romance space, Arcadia’s writing already carries the hallmarks of a voice readers remember. Her characters often begin fractured—haunted by forgotten pasts, suppressed power, or quiet defiance—and slowly come into themselves through relationships that challenge and transform them. The magic in her books is rarely just a system; it’s an emotional force, tied to grief, love, sacrifice, and the self.
