The Legend

Elarion is a realm shaped by the power of Dragon Gods. For centuries, these ancient beings have held an allegiance with the kingdoms to maintain peace, an uneasy balance meant to guard against dark forces from other worlds. Among these kingdoms, Elariya stands as the most powerful, once ruled by King Valtori, who had two sons born on the same dayโ€”one by his wife and the other by a sorceress from Nythia.

With his wifeโ€™s passing, King Valtori dreamed of uniting his sons, hoping they would someday bond and bring their kingdoms together in peace. But on the night of their fourteenth birthday, external forces descended upon Elariya and Nythia, leaving both kingdoms in ruin. Only the two brothers of royal blood survived, but their bond fractured: one son claimed the throne, branding the other as illegitimate and banishing him and all who defied him to Nythia, now known as the Underworld.

Enraged by the kingdomsโ€™ failure, the Dragon Gods cursed both lands. Elariya was condemned to an eternal winter, while Nythia fell into perpetual darkness and ash, separated by a river that runs the color of blood. The citizens took sides, humans pledging their allegiance to Therion, the merciless King of Elariya, while others joined his exiled brother, Kainen, the dark prince of Nythia.

The Chronicles of Forgotten Souls is a three-book dark romantasy trilogy and will have scenes and elements that some readers may find triggering. Some of these triggers may include death, violence, and bullying. It is intended for readers who are 18+. Reader discretion is advised.

When a strange human appears on his lands, Kainen suspects sheโ€™s a sorceress sent by Therion to destroy him. Yet her fierce defiance and sultry curves threaten him in ways magic never could.

She was the key, the flame between them.

College sophomore Selene has always felt out of place. After the death of her aunt, heartbreak leads her to do something she usually avoids: looking in a mirror.

But the antique that belonged to her aunt is no ordinary mirror. It pulses with supernatural energy and pulls her into a world beyond her wildest dreams.

She ends up in Nythia, where Kainen, the warlock and dark prince, imprisons her. Desperate to return home, Selene canโ€™t help how Kainenโ€™s power unravels her, or her undeniable attraction to him. She begins questioning who she is, sensing Kainen may hold answers she never thought to seek.

In a world ruled by mythical creatures, where loyalty is rare and trust could prove deadly, desire may be her greatest danger of all.
