    The Price of Her Freedom

    Princess Elara escaped a kingdom that never wanted her and found freedom in the last place she should have: the enemy court. Hidden beneath a maid’s uniform, she builds the life she was never allowed to have, friendship, laughter, a family of her own choosing, and a dangerous slow-burning love with Duke Cassian, a man who despises everything her kingdom represents. But Elara didn’t escape alone. She left behind a secret buried beneath her father’s palace: Valeria’s missing crown prince is alive. And she knows because she was the one keeping him alive. When silence becomes impossible, Elara must choose between the life she finally wants and the prince she once left behind. The truth could bring Valeria’s lost heir home. It could also cost Elara her friends, her freedom, the man she loves… and send her straight back to the kingdom she risked everything to escape.

    What Duty Demands

    The world is ending, and everyone in the Inquisition is expected to sacrifice something to save it. For Commander Cullen Rutherford, that sacrifice may be himself. Walking away from lyrium means facing withdrawal at the worst possible time, when thousands depend on his judgment and Corypheus threatens everything they have built. For Arabella, a mage with an unusual connection to the Fade, every rift brings the Inquisition closer to victory, and her closer to something she doesn’t understand. Neither knows when to stop. Neither appreciates being told. And when two impossibly stubborn people become much better at recognizing each other’s self-destruction than their own, professional friction slowly becomes something neither of them planned for. Some sacrifices save the world. Others only destroy the person making them.
