Chaos Saga #1
The Cursed One
She was never meant to be seen.
Bound to a forgotten prophecy, Lyrianna Cavendish has spent her life hiding the power that could save the world... or destroy it.
But when the Trial of Powers exposes her secret, everything changes. Thrown into the deadly ranks of the Chosen, Lyrianna is surrounded by enemies who fear her, rulers who want to control her, and a kingdom on the brink of collapse.
And then there's Arès, a ruthless commander sworn to stand against everything she is. He should hate her. He tries to hate her. But the more her power grows... the more he's drawn to her.
As the Wall begins to crack and Chaos seeps into the world, Lyrianna's magic evolves into something no one can understand, and no one can stop.
Hunted, feared, and torn between duty and desire, she must uncover the truth about what she's becoming... before Chaos claims her completely.

Readers say
Now they all want book two.
It's got that perfect mix of fantasy, romance, and deeper themes that really pull you in… And that ending??? That cliffhanger??? Now the only thing I want is book two in my hands, like, yesterday.
What starts as hatred and resistance slowly transforms into something so much deeper. Their relationship is intense, emotional, and impossible to ignore… And that ending… Absolutely not. I was not prepared for what happened.
There's no way to explain why it took me two months to read this other than I didn't want it to end… The world she is building is incredible. I want to know more. I can't wait for book 2!
