Author Description

A crown prince of light, a cursed prince of darkness, and one soulweaver who could burn for both. Lysara Vale is a soulweaver, able to mend flesh, spirit, and even memories with a single glowing thread. But she wants nothing more than to keep her quiet village life (and her family’s tarnished name) safe from the crown’s notice. However, when she’s summoned to the ember-lit palace to heal a gravely ill Prince Kayel, her gift reveals a sinister truth: the prince is being devoured from within by an umbravore—an ancient shadow-creature bound to court conspiracies. Now Lysara must unravel palace intrigue, dodge the ruthless Chief Warden, and master forbidden magic before the looming Concord Rite seals Kayel’s fate—and sparks a war her house would not survive. Complicating everything is Prince Darius of distant Dravenholt, a brooding envoy whose lethal Oblivion Touch can erase life with a brush of his hand, forcing him to keep nearly every inch of skin hidden, even as sparks flare between him and Lysara. Their dangerous pull threatens her loyalty to Kayel, the fragile alliance between kingdoms, and the very oath that binds her heart. In a world of glittering masquerades, whispered betrayals, and soul-deep bonds, Lysara must choose: save a kingdom, redeem her family, or risk everything for a love that could burn the world—or heal it. This YA Romantasy is perfect for fans of forbidden romance, court intrigue, gothic vibes, and magic that cuts as sharply as a dagger at midnight.
