For some betrayals there can be no forgiveness. A darkness is rising and the magic to stop it is fading. Time is running out. Alla's very existence fans the flames of Destiny, forcing her to face a Fate that will change every life she touches. A legend falls victim to a curse... Now there is no escaping what has been foretold. Not for her. Not for any of them. It can be no other way... Unless...

Book 1 - Queens Crucible
A legend protected the truth, hiding it in plain sight among myths and lies as it was passed down through the generations.
So said, the Telling.
Alla's part in it began long before her birth when a voice was given to a curse. In that moment like her mother—and hers before her—she was doomed to one day become, Queen. It was supposed to be a Commoner's life for her, with parents and an annoying brother, until in one horrifying instant 'that life' was taken away. She was taken in, protected, and a past she never knew existed began to reveal itself.
Alla is far more than she appears... Unfortunately for them.

My future has already been written. I've seen it. Destiny will not allow me to stray, no matter where I must go. My only wish is that I could have traveled this road... alone. Send no one.
... Alla
Book 2 - Dead Roses
The world has been turned into a sinkhole of unbridled chaos, and no one has come out unscathed. Fergus is now faced with a heart-wrenching task that could cost him everything. There are events being put into motion, all of which are very much beyond his control. But... He made a promise, and honour demands that he see it through. He will take her home.
It has proven to be a difficult lesson, but Fergus has learned that magic, especially his magic, is connected to emotion. Now, more than ever, he must keep his emotions in check.
They should have left him alone. Some things are best to remain forgotten, lest a darkness be unleashed... Upon us all.
Book 3 - Cold Stone
Carreg'oer finds herself transported some seven hundred years into the future. And still, it isn't enough to escape what chases them. As Matheir would have put it, "This is the place you were meant to be, when you were meant to be." Unfortunately, these words offer little comfort when the past, present, and future are about to come together, shadowed in darkness. There are three things that bind this place, feed this hunger, and none of them beyond Evil's reach; a book, a necklace, and the curse, whispered for all to hear in the year of our Lord, 1888.
It has been written and sung to the generations... It is the TELLING.
