In the idyllic world of the Twelve Realms, where echoes of ancient magic linger in shadow, Princess Caityn’s life is a flawless tapestry destined to unravel. On the eve of a joyous union with her betrothed, Prince Theiandar, her beauty—both inner and outer—is stolen by a malevolent thief forgotten in time. Stripped of her charm and kindness, Caityn and all who love her are plunged into despair as her future hangs in the balance of uncertainty and acts as a dark harbinger of things to come.

Theiandar alone remains undeterred and determined to reclaim the woman he loves. With a protesting Caityn, and aided by his loyal knights, Caityn’s elder brother, and her fiercely devoted best friend, he unwittingly jeopardizes their lives on a quest to break the mysterious curse. The thief’s growing desperation to stop them leads to conflict fraught with hidden snares, and their doubts run heavy in the face of formidable foes and cruel setbacks. But time is running out in their search for answers.

The Beauty Thief is a fairytale-like fantasy adventure full of devotion and sacrifice, where the bonds of friendship and the power of love are challenged in a battle against the grip of doubt and one man’s twisted desire for eternity. Be captured by a world reawakening to long hidden magic, where every moment counts, and true beauty is a battle worth fighting for.

Lady Idra, reserved as she is, cannot seem to adjust to life at High Castle where making friends among the courtiers proves nearly impossible, and she longs for the familiarity of Taisce. The only bright spot is the kindhearted and chivalrous Sir Ahmad, the high prince’s most trusted guardsmen. Yet, just as she begins to untangle the complexities of growing feelings for him, the past resurfaces, ushering in a mercenary’s revenge. And when Idra waltzes into his trap, not even a knight like Sir Ahmad will be able stop him.

Driven by desperation and a love that defies the stormy seas, Ahmad plunges into a wild race against all odds to rescue Idra from her captors. While on the high seas, Idra encounters an enigmatic pirate whose soul craves redemption. As they forge an unlikely bond born of desperation and hope, the pirate battles his sense of unworthiness and an unattainable desire for Idra, blurring the lines of loyalty and the self-preservation that have kept him alive.

In a tale woven of revenge, danger, and unspoken vows, each must discover their limits and where their true hope lies. Will Ahmad’s unyielding determination, a pirate’s desperate bid for absolution, and the hope Idra carries for them all be enough to secure freedom, or will a mercenary’s blinding lust for retribution destroy them all?

Within city of High Castle, honor and love will wage a silent war in the hearts of men. As a devoted knight embodying loyalty and duty, Sir Ahmad’s life is pledged in service to the high prince. Yet, beneath his stoic exterior, a tempest brews—one ignited by loss and yearning. Driven away by fear that Lady Idra’s heart belongs to a dead man, Sir Ahmad buries his brokenness beneath responsibility.

Lady Idra, frustrated by Ahmad’s emotional retreat, is desperate to make him see her heart. When a new friend asks her to speak to Sir Ahmad on his behalf, she jumps at the chance but finds herself caught up in a compelling and dangerous intrigue beyond imagination. Not wanting to endanger anyone else, especially the man she loves, she sets out to make things right on her own but soon discovers she’s no safer than the ones she wishes to protect.

Sir Florian, a trusted knight and close friend of Ahmad, is dragged into a labyrinth of ruthless betrayal that Lady Idra has stumbled upon. When the very people he should be able to rely on exploit his biggest weakness to coerce his cooperation in a sinister plot against the high king, he is left with a devastating choice: give up his sister’s life or betray his sworn oaths.

In The Treasonous, loyalty is tested and sacrifices must be made. Heart-wrenching choices and unimaginable consequences threaten to bury all three. The line between friend and foe blurs, but the stakes are nothing less than the future of the kingdom. Settle into this tale of love and deception and discover how far an honorable soul will rise or fall for love.
