They would sing his name for generations: the man who conquered the continent.

Undefeated in battle, Andar of Tyr stands on the precipice of uniting the world under his flag. The songs forget the shadowy truths and the crushed opposition that built the foundations of his empire. Educated and impulsive, brutal and loved, Andar fights to keep his conquests and his legacy. 

Yalira dao Eheia, High Priestess of the temple-city Antalis, is the youngest chosen by the goddess of truth. Gifted with visions of the future and the uncanny ability to sense lies, she alone fights to oppose the most powerful man in the world. Surrounded by jealous queens and conniving politicos, even goddess-blessed Yalira must challenge him the only way permitted: she must play his game better than anyone.

Trapped in the heart of his empire, stolen as his ninth-wife, Yalira uncovers dark secrets in the battle to overthrow a tyrant. Behind each twisted truth live vipers and wolves, hungry to consume the world.All Rights Reserved

Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood.
