In Progress
When Sundered Spirits Dream
A noble in hiding. A brother in denial. A madman driven by revenge.
Under the Spirit Council’s rigid laws, being born a princess promises a destiny of courtly obligations. A violent abduction offers one young noble a desperate chance to vanish, trading a stolen life for the anonymity of the stables. Adopting the name Dearal, they shift gender and conceal their magic to survive in a realm that prohibits the aristocracy from living an authentic truth.
As a friendship with a nobleman flourishes into a deeper connection, Dearal braces for the heartbreak of a future they cannot share. Should their secret be exposed, the Council would sever Dearal’s connection to magic forever. Meanwhile, Prince Tharon, refusing to accept his sister’s death, pursues her captors on a relentless journey over land and sea.
While Tharon’s search plunges him into the keep of a madman harvesting magic from the innocent to fuel a war of revenge, the Spirit Council’s grip on the capital tightens. Sanctuary turns to ash when the past finally catches up to Dearal.
Is it truly freedom if one must hide who they are to achieve it?
