Crystal Division

Every tradition leaves an echo. In the kingdom of the Crystal Isle, whenever a new queen is crowned, so too are her four female bodyguards and advisors – her Crystal Division. Chosen from birth and sourced from all corners of the kingdom, they are her sisters, her soulmates, her sword. They can be the line between life and death.Following the murder of her mother by a separatist extremist, newly crowned Queen Briella's Crystal Division has been selected to guide her as she prepares for marriage and to break the chains of tradition blinding her people and trapping them in the past.While guiding their queen, Karia, Lairee, Ayella, and Siva face their own demons as they navigate love, loss, lust, and the betrayal of trust. What will their legacy be?Everyone awaits Briella's downfall. Separatists and non-believers lurk everywhere, seeping into the walls. Seeping into nightmares. Seeping into blood. Seeping into the very Crystal Division itself…Contains mature themes, violence, and sexual content suitable for adult readers (18+). Approximate length: 480 pages.

Every tradition has a beginning. Two hundred years before the events of Crystal Division, the Crystal Isle had no queen, no king. Only anarchy. Only peace. Every coin has two sides. History has two sides: what is remembered, recorded. And what is forgotten.The arrival of King Larus of Keit will change history forever. It will change the lives of all citizens, men and women alike.Ai'nah, a sheltered girl of the Mountains, is uprooted from everything she thinks she knows when she is hand-picked to become his queen and forced from her caves into his court. She can see the stars but never reach for them.Alongside the new queen, four more women from across the kingdom and beyond are taken from their futures to serve the needs of the crown. Ai'nah, Linika, Zhafila, Heron, and Amalen must learn to live with each other and themselves as they form the inaugural Crystal Division.Over the course of a lifetime, the women wrestle with their fates, their faith, their legacies, and identities. They wish to live, to be remembered – if only out of spite. But in a world where women's voices are silenced, will they even be remembered at all?
