Vanquished Hearts

Two sisters. Two destinies. One new world that could shatter them both.
The kingdom of Chilam has changed in the last two years since Spira's were accepted - royal engagements, the inauguration of Lord Elian, and now, the discovery of an enchanted scepter found in the queen's chambers. Its magic stirs awake a long-forgotten realm: Everlasting. An old relic with black diamonds, mermaids, Elvin creatures, and an ancient Fey race.
As Chilam's queen, Athena, desires to colonize Everlasting and is determined to be the first to claim this hidden world. But she must get married. After her relationship with a palace guard, she wants nothing to do with love, until Everett changes her mind. Even so, it seems that everything comes in the way of her happiness.
All Saraphina cares for is being the perfect princess and succeeding in her relationship with the inaugural prince. However, King Grey has come for his bride and is convinced they are destined to be together. Her world unravels when Saraphina discovers everything she'd known about her life was a lie, especially about herself.
Colonizing Everlasting for the Kingdom of Chilam seems within reach until King Grey shares the truth about Everlasting. War brews on the horizon, relationships crumble, and Everlasting's secrets threaten to change the fate of Chilam forever.
