Emery Dorsha finally has life figured out living on Arnin. As head of security, she finally has a place, and is eternally out from underneath her demented family. Yet when her past comes knocking on her door, and her father’s mind controlling device is still in play, she wonders if she can ever escape the horrors in her closet. Horrors better left in the past.
When tragedy strikes, and Sorin goes off the rails, Emery has to fight tooth and nail to get him back while battling everything she’s run away from. While desperately clinging to the happiness she’s found away from her horrible life, Emery realizes that not everything is as she thought it was, and accepting the truth might just be the downfall of everything she knows and loves.

Emery Dorcha never thought she could be anything other than a killer and a thief. Her whole life has consisted of following her parent’s orders and their newest mission is the most crucial yet. But being sent to a magical floating island humans don’t know about to retrieve a powerful old family necklace is more than she bargained for. As if finding out magic being real wasn’t enough, she learns that her parents were banished from the island, their true home, and stripped of their powers for their own evil deeds of the past. A past no one will tell her about.
Seeing as how she has no magical powers of her own or background information of any kind, Emery is forced to get close to the charming mind reading Prince to find her parents’ necklace. Getting close to him is easy, but she expects to find a soulless monster her parents warned her about, not a kind loving man with a loving family that has jealousy brewing deep inside her.
When her should-be-easy-mission leads her to family secrets, mind controlling devices and a killer witch with a grudge, she realizes there is more at stake than her family’s magic and villainous plan for the world. An entire island she never knew existed needs her protection, and in their eyes, she’s the villain. In a battle of the heart and mind, Emery must decide who she wants to be, the island’s savoir, or their conqueror as her parents’ demand.

There is a fine line between love and hate.
For Princess Amara Alaire, that line has always been clear. Hate the Dagen family and marry for power, even if she wants nothing more than to fight for her freedom and find an all-consuming love. While her mother races to find her a suitor to cement their family’s power over the Dagen family, the princess desperately claws for a way out.
Prince Tristan Dagen is powerless against his family, living a life of sorrow as his parents plan his future for him. But to protect his illegitimate sister from a fate of absolute loneliness, he would endure any amount of torture. When he is plagued with dreams about his enemy by birth, Amara, his thoughts are swimming with possibilities of her, though he knows they shouldn’t be. After finding a photo of two people who look just like them, Tristan and Amara learn that the feud between their families began to ensure their protection from a five-hundred-year-old curse placed upon their ancestors by warlocks—a curse that would be the end of their families forever.
Tristan and Amara band together to find a way to break the curse. With the curse broken, they could finally have what they always dreamed of: freedom and peace within their kingdom. Five trials and unseen enemies stand in their way as Tristan and Amara race to face their destiny and change their family’s future. But the stronger their bond grows, the more they put their families in danger. Love and hate blur together as the two realize they’re not as different as they thought. But when the curse stands in their way, their choices are once again taken away from them.
