THE CHRONICLES OF NAIREAN

Two women, defying a world of men.
Two secrets, sharper than swords or crowns.
Two hearts, the ultimate weapon.
Aara
My world was ravaged when the king’s hunt obliterated my desert tribe, leaving me a captive in a city drenched in secrets.
Now, I’ve been thrust into a guild of six—an alliance of enslaved survivors, scheming rivals, and pampered heirs of power. To survive, I have to conquer the Vertex, a labyrinthine descent where each level tests me with increasingly dangerous challenges.
But surviving the Vertex isn’t my only battle. There’s a deadlier game unraveling in the shadows, and at its center stands the Blade Master—merciless, unreadable, and the man who slaughtered my people. His blade carved my past, and his secrets could destroy my future. He’s the enemy I swore to kill, yet the only one who can keep me alive. And now I’m trapped in his own lethal game.
Every glance he throws my way is a taunt. Every lesson is a battle of wills. I ache to drive a dagger into his heart—but what terrifies me even more is how he’s slowly slipping into mine.
Alysna
My marriage is a prison. The king, my husband, scorns me, and the court shuns me. But I’ve found solace in the worst place imaginable—my growing obsession with his captivating mistress, Novell.
Bold, unflinching, and dangerously beautiful, Novell ignites a passion that threatens to burn us both. In a court ruled by a jealous king, desiring his mistress is a death sentence. Every stolen glance is a risk, every touch a silent rebellion.
I know the stakes. I know how this ends. But I can’t stop.
Novell’s secrets soon pull me into a deadly plot. One wrong move, and we’ll destroy not just each other—but the realm…
