One Princess Secreted Away. Two Kingdoms in Peril. Three Will Rise.\n﻿﻿﻿﻿Princess Elizabeth wants nothing more than to be reunited with her father, her kingdom, and her people. Instead, she's spent the last twelve years in the forest, hiding from her grandfather, who killed her mother while she looked on. 
Then the only heir to the Kingdom of Warren is discovered by her childhood playmate and crush, now the Crown Prince of the allied Kingdom of Datten, and everything changes. Her grandfather has died, which means it's safe for her to return to her kingdom in advance of her seventeenth birthday...when sorcerers like her manifest their powers. 
But the girl who now calls herself Alex is nothing like the lost princess the kingdom remembers. She's headstrong, fearless-and already wields powers beyond everyone's wildest imaginations. She can predict the future, control the weather, make plants magically grow, and manipulate fire, abilities which cause unusual things to happen when her emotions are heightened. 
As she struggles to gain control of her powers, Alex causes chaos in the castle where she's never quite the princess they want her to be. When she uncovers the secret behind her lineage and the murder of her mother, Alex's powers threaten to destroy everyone around her, including her father, who hid the truth from her for so long. 
Alex doesn't want to be feared or controlled. She's not the type to stand by and let someone else decide her fate-but is she strong enough to turn her back on the only family and friends she has left?

Broken Sons (The Head, the Heart, and the Heir)

A terrible choice tears two lovers apart. Now battlefields separate them. Warren lost its princess once before, and now, in exchange for the lives of those she loves, Princess Alex has surrendered her freedom again. As long as Alex remains at her uncle Moorloc's castle, Aaron will be safe-but the same can't be said of her. Desperately trying to learn control of the magic coursing through her, she is now a prisoner trapped by cruel men who despise her for being both powerful and a woman. Determined to rescue Alex, Aaron takes up his mantle as Datten's prince and declares war on Moorloc, leading a cavalry of the best knights from both kingdoms into the Ogre Mountains. But the location of Moorloc's castle is a mystery, and he is forced to seek an audience with the King of Betruger, an old enemy more likely to imprison or kill Aaron than help him. As Alex and Aaron fight their way back to each other, they discover new allies and confront new foes. To be reunited, they must push beyond their limits and step into their destinies. But will they survive their own battles? And if they do, will they ever be the same again? Note: This book deals with mature content and is recommended for upper YA (15 +)

A prince she loves. A sorcerer she can't forget. Can she live with the person she's become? Princess Alexandria should be consumed with celebrating her upcoming wedding to Prince Aaron, a ceremony that will unite the kingdoms of Warren and Datten. Instead, still recovering after her traumatic escape from her abusive uncle, she is preoccupied by lost memories, persistent nightmares, mystifying new scars, and the haunting echoes of a cracking whip. The answer to restoring her memories lies in the one place she never wanted to return to: the castle where she was held captive. Alex fears what may be revealed-could she be a monster like her grandfather...or is she something even worse? While traveling to her wedding preparations, Alex is attacked by two mysterious sorcerers hunting for Gryphon, the sorcerer who helped Alex survive her imprisonment and trained her to control her growing powers. She doesn't know his location, but that doesn't stop them from nearly killing her. Now, Alex's powers are failing her completely, powerful sorcerers are after her, and Aaron is acting strange. He's become obsessed with Gryphon and Alex doesn't know if Aaron is still the same man she agreed to marry. Can she regain her memories and save the man she loves or will Alex find herself alone again?
