The Five Realms
2 primary works
Book 1
Forced into isolation by the ruler of the Mortal Kingdom, Princess Rhea Maxwell spends her days in the company of her pet fox, Bella, dreaming of an existence outside the confinement of her tower. As the rightful queen, she knows that there must be more to life than the endless monotony she's been forced to live. Harboring a deadly secret from her past, her desolation grows until one fateful night brings an unlikely ally into her life. Though wary to trust this stranger, Rhea suddenly finds herself with something she's never had before: a choice. With a future she never thought possible hanging in the balance, the princess must decide if following her heart is worth risking everything she's ever known.
In the neighboring Mage Kingdom, Princess Bahira Daxel is the first of her kind to be born without magic. Fixated on finding a way to unlock the power she believes to be hidden within, Bahira knows there is no price too great to achieve her goals. As tensions rise and her kingdom prepares for a threat they can not defend against, her desperation comes to a head. Ultimatums push Bahria to rethink who she truly is and the future that she had pictured for herself.
In a post-war world where kingdoms are divided by a powerful spell, can Rhea and Bahira each break free from the shackles of the lives expected of them to forge their own paths? Or will lies and obsession threaten to destroy everything.
Book 2
What if happily ever after is too good to be true?
No longer locked in isolation, Princess Rhea Maxwell has been given everything she’s ever dreamed of, yet her newfound freedom has come at a cost that she isn’t prepared to pay. Now thrown into a new world, Rhea’s limits will be tested as she grapples with the shadows of her past, the magic writhing within her, and a broken heart that demands to be mended by the very man who fractured it.
Princess Bahira Daxel’s fixation with repairing her kingdom’s declining magic has been interrupted by a deal made with the surly shifter king. Forced to navigate a new magical blight, mysterious rebels, and foreign court politics, Bahira finds herself engaged in more than one battle. With her heart split between two kingdoms, the magicless princess must decide just how far she is willing to go in pursuit of what she wants.
The Siren Queendom is a vicious place, and Princess Aria Malika knows the depths of its depravity better than anyone else. She fantasizes of a life where the secrets she holds won’t get her killed. When the queen sends her on a journey to retrieve enchanted artifacts, Aria’s strength and perseverance will be shaken like never before.
With magic fading and betrayal lurking around every corner, will these princesses find the answers to the questions they seek? Or does only more heartbreak lie in their futures?
