Thirteen young women. One Prince and Dragon rider. In the kingdom of Aurelia, the path to the throne is paved with ambition, beauty, and sacrifice. A special selection is held to choose the next dragon queen from among the finest daughters of the founding magical nobilities. Thirteen girls, one from each of the foundational families, are chosen to vie for the crown and become the next dragon queen—and the hand of the enigmatic Crown Prince Cassian, the best dragon rider in the seven kingdoms and rider of the ancient, powerful black dragon Taheer. Among them is Lira, the thirteenth girl, a quiet but captivating young woman who seems to have come from nowhere. Unbeknownst to the court, Lira is no noble; she has no powers. She is an impostor. She did not come from a founding family. Driven by revenge, she has infiltrated the selection to destroy the monarchy that unjustly executed her father, a former advisor accused of treason.

But a new Dragon Queen must be chosen and Lira might not stand a chance. Will Lira's thirst for vengeance destroy them all?

Gifted a candle that was said to make wishes come true, Alice Clemente burned it to find herself awake in a different world. She had wished for a life of adventure away from the city and its routine. With her wish granted, she was no longer in the 21st century and was instead lost in the middle of the Kingdom of Gladiolum, a place reminiscent of the 1800s.

Caught in the middle of the two princes and other nobles, Alice would soon have to face the battle between those two royal brothers― a fight for the throne. She had wished for adventure, after all, and she received just as such. Kept in the center of all this, would Alice be able to emerge from the rabbit hole unscathed? Or will the overwhelming troubles of love and war be too much for her to bear? *** “And what if you, too, are unable to help?” Alice threw the question back. “What if helping would risk everything?” Spade didn’t miss a beat. “You are everything.” “Don’t say things that you don’t mean,” Alice chided. “You’ll leave a trail of broken hearts.” “And would you believe me if I say that I have no intention of breaking yours?” Spade countered. “However, mine is yours to play with. Shatter it, fix it, do anything you desire. As long as it feels the warmth of your hand, I am content.” *** Image used in cover not mine.

Forge and Glass is a journey of transformation, where Alaric, a young man with untapped potential, begins his quest as a raw, unshaped soul. His journey is a crucible, much like the process of forging metal in fire—burning away impurities, refining the core, and molding it into something strong, beautiful, and purposeful. The challenges Alaric faces are not just physical but spiritual, testing him to the limits of his mind, body, and soul. In a world where fire and glass hold opposing meanings—fire symbolizing strength and perseverance, glass representing fragility and truth—Alaric must learn to balance both extremes within himself. He discovers that the true alchemy of life lies in embracing the tension between strength and vulnerability. Through the trials, lessons, and betrayals he endures, he learns that his true power is found not by avoiding the cracks but by understanding and embracing them. Like a glassmaker shaping fragile material into something beautiful and resilient, Alaric’s journey becomes a process of self-discovery and deep personal growth. He faces hardships that shatter his perception of the world, only to rebuild himself with a clearer, wiser understanding of who he is and what he is capable of. His story is an invitation for readers to reflect on their own paths—how we are all shaped by the challenges we face, how moments of fragility can reveal our greatest strengths, and how the process of self-transformation is often a painful but necessary step towards achieving our fullest potential. Forge and Glass is more than just a story of overcoming trials—it’s a profound exploration of the human spirit. It asks: What happens when we embrace our imperfections? What becomes possible when we stop hiding our brokenness and instead let it reveal our deepest wisdom? This book will inspire anyone who has ever faced adversity, found themselves shattered, and risen from the ashes stronger and more self-aware.
