About this series

The Forgotten Crown At Vaelor, a crown isn't inherited.It's paid with blood and desire and treason. Each generation, a young lady with no noble lineage is chosen to become the bride of the heir prince. They call it honor. That's actually a conviction. The elected ones disappear one after another, consumed by an old magic that feeds on pleasure, pain and secrets buried under Nocturne Castle. Lira Voss, a redhead thief raised between the misery and violence of Port of Ashes, never thought she would be next. Rejected to the cruelest court of the kingdom, she soon gets trapped between two brothers as irresistifiable as they are dangerous: Kael Valthyr, the dark, cold and dominant prince who awakes a wild power in her and Darian Valthyr, the charismatic and seductive brother whose smile preserves ambition, lies and fire. While the court rotates between conspirations, prohibited rituals and a civil war about to blow up, Lira finds that his destiny is attached to the Forgotten Crown and Nyxara, an old queen of shadows, lust and destruction that expects to awaken again. Between forbidden desires, betrayals, carnal magic and a love triangle as toxic as addictive, Lira will have to decide if she will be an additional victim of the kingdom... or the dark queen that will put them all on fire. The Forgotten Crown is an addictive dark romantasy trilogy filled with tension, passion, intrigue and power, perfect for readers who love the stories of enemies, cruel kings, obsessed and heroic romances that embrace their darkness.

The blood fiancée At Vaelor, every hundreds of years a young lady with no lineage is elected by the Forgotten Crown to become the bride of the heir prince. Nobody's talking about what happens after that. Lira Voss, a redhead thief raised between the smoke, violence and misery of Port of Ashes, can recognize a conviction as she sees her. But as the old crown sits on his head during the Ceremony of Blood, there's no alley, lie or knife capable of saving her. Loaded and brought to the dreaded Nocturne Castle, Lira gets trapped in a court ruled by secrets, desire and cruelty. That's where she met Kael Valthyr, the heir prince: cold, dominant and dangerous, a man who wants her as much as she needs the power that begins to awaken in his blood. He also knows Darian, his brother with his easy smile and his hidden intentions, and his tenderness can be as lethal as Kael's brutality. While the voices of the old promises begin to whisper from his darkness, Lira finds his choice have been noncasual. His mother was his previous fiancée. He's still alive. And she remains locked under the castle, feeding a curse that has been devouring women for generations. Between a prince who wants to have her, another man who wants to seduce her and a crown that appears to have been known to her before she's been born, Lira will have to decide if she's run, submitted... or his conviction became power. Because at Nocturne, love never gets clear.
