The Briar Crown will soon receive a new owner, but Deyzi Domonov is determined not to let it claim her as its next victim. In order to do that, she needs to find its counterpart, the Tidal Helm. But neither the helm, nor the Waterborn population have been seen since the Fall of Eluha, when her great grandfather invaded the country, slaughtering the king and queen and ripping Domovnia apart. After finding her mother’s journal, Deyzi decides to fulfil the late Queen’s plans to excavate the only place they haven’t looked, the maze of canals and caves that lie beneath the length of the country.

In a world torn between loyalty and betrayal, love is the most dangerous secret of all. Raven has always known pain—the kind that lingers in the shadows of memory and whispers of broken trust. When Declan enters her life, fierce and unyielding, their connection sparks a passion neither can deny. But desire comes at a cost. As Raven is drawn deeper into a tangled web of lies, enemies, and forbidden love, she must decide who to trust—and what she’s willing to sacrifice. Her heart? Her freedom? Or the only man who sees her for who she truly is?

Princess Algaia Domonov’s world is turned upside down when she discovers she may not be the daughter of the dryads she always believed herself to be. As she ponders her possible new identity, enemy forces from the North reach the border, and conscription is enacted, calling on one able-bodied person from each family to fight…except for her own. Not seeing her status as a reason for exemption, Algaia flees the safety of the palace to join her subjects at war.

Now that her schooling is over, pampered princess, Ouna Domonov must turn her attentions to the needs of the realm; such as marrying a Waterborn Descendant of the Naiads to help uphold the Balance. But she doesn’t want her hideous intended, nor her responsibilities. All she wants is to have fun with her best friend, who must soon face her own royal duties. As a last hurrah before the wedding bells sound, the friends head north for Vinterfest.

Twenty-five years ago, there was life. Twenty-five years ago, there was peace when the descendants of the dryads and naiads kept all life in balance. Until one fateful night when the Oderbergs invaded, executed the royal house of Domonov and took Domovnia for their own, ruling with an iron fist and an edict of fear.
