Ember
Ember of Elyssia Quartet, Book One
The princess who led a rebellion to retake her home.
A magical prodigy who was imprisoned for fighting against her.
The war is over, but the island of Elyssia is far from healed. Princess Caelin is the rightful ruler, but she is kept from her throne, kept from action, told to keep quiet. When Alain Flynn breaks into her palace, out for revenge, she learns of horrors that have been hidden from her.
It means defying her advisors, and it means allying with someone who wants to see her dead, but Caelin must take this chance to uncover the secret darkness in her home and find the source of the corruption.
This might be her only way to control the fate of her kingdom.

Ember of Elyssia Quartet, Book Two
The Rosalian Legion made him a weapon.
The Queen of Elyssia made him her Prince Consort.
What he makes of himself is yet to be seen.
Caelin is Queen. The nation has settled into peace in the year since her coronation—until a masked intruder tries to take Alain captive and Alain’s powerful magic backfires. Two things quickly become clear: the abundant power at Alain’s disposal is not natural, and it is barely under his control.
To prevent further war and to save Alain’s life, they take off on one more mad dash across the island to try to reconstruct what the Legion wreaked on him—before he’s lost to them for good.

Ember of Elyssia Quartet, Book Three
Alain would see Rosalia restored.
Caelin would see it destroyed.
But would either succeed?
Surrendered into his mother’s control, Alain must do the unthinkable to save himself, his sister, and reunite with Caelin: he must become the Archon. As Archon, he can undo the rotten tangles of the Legion from within, but he must lie at every turn to keep his secret safe—even to Cealin.
Meanwhile, Cealin rushes into Rosalia to rescue him and unearths a dangerous ancient relic that might obliterate the cryst load upon which the Seat of the Legion rests.
But the corruption of the Legion may be too deep, and the secret wielder of power int he background too old and powerful to be unseated.
