    Summary

    Alexandria prospers under the rule of the Avatar of Mestionora, Lady Rozemyne. After years of planning and restraint Aub Alexandria and her husband are finally able to welcome their first child into the world; their daughter was expected to be born in early spring, but instead she was born late in the winter. To make matters worse, at least in the eyes of her parents, her mana seems to be touched by winter divinity and her elements are completely unbalanced. The gods had nearly killed Rozemyne in their haste to save their precious garden. The gods had already used Rozemyne's thread to save Ferdinand, shaving an unknown amount of time off her life. What more could the gods ask of her? What do the gods want with the first daughter of Alexandria?

    Summary

    ​It is right as Alexandria enters its fifth year since its founding.

    Rozemyne is utterly fed up with the Archduke Conference, where other duchies are still incessantly pressuring them with offers of second wives, third wives, and concubines.

    ​She wants to do something "very Rozemyne" for once—a grand move to finally shut the other Aubs up and put them in their place!

    Summary

    Inheritance was supposed to be the beginning of stability. Instead, Georgine finds herself navigating a court full of watching eyes and shifting loyalties.

    The higher she climbs, the more precarious the ground beneath her becomes.
    The temple strains without its guiding light.
    The castle whispers.
    And the nobles of Ehrenfest begin choosing their sides, one quiet conversation at a time.

    But power does not reward hesitation.
    Nor mercy.
    Nor fear.

    As the seasons turn, Georgine must forge the strength to lead — even as the cost of that leadership grows sharper, heavier, and impossible to ignore.

    This is Part 2 of my story: "The Thorned Candidate". PLEASE make sure that you have read Part 1, "The Uncrowned Candidate", before enjoying this one. Or else you will likely be very confused very quickly
