The Forged Heart
For twenty-four years, Aeltyria has lived in chains.
Conquered by the Calesian Empire and stripped of its magic, her people survive beneath iron rule and constant fear.
Aleaia Dieter was raised to endure that reality-not to change it. A soldier in the occupying army, she has spent years learning how to survive within the empire's ranks. But when the fragile balance holding Aeltyria in submission begins to fracture, Aleaia is pulled into a conflict far larger than she ever imagined.
At the center of the empire's power stands Valerius di Calesia-prince, commander, and one of the men responsible for her homeland's suffering. Bound by duty and shadowed by secrets, they are drawn together by a connection as dangerous as it is undeniable.
As rebellion stirs and old powers begin to wake, Aleaia must decide who she will become: the empire's weapon, or the force that brings it to its knees.
Because in a land built on conquest and control, love is not a weakness.
It is rebellion.
