Clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her people This set includes: This Woven Kingdom To all the world Alize is a disposable servant, never to be known for who she really is: the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom. She is hunted always, forced to hide in plain sight lest she expose herself to danger. Until one day, she makes a mistake. The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies; he knows of the fearsome monster promised to kill his king. Darkness is fast descending upon his empire, driving Karan to desperately seek out its source. But as he grows ever more suspicious of the servant girl with the strange eyes, the more he learns about her - and the harder it is to turn away. These Infinite Threads With the heat of a kiss, the walls between Alizeh, the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom, and Kamran, the crown prince of the Ardunian empire, have crumbled. And so have both of their lives. Alizeh, the heir to the Jinn throne, is destined to free her people from the half-lives they’ve been forced to live under human rule. When Kamran, the heir to the human throne, falls in love with her, he’s forced to question everything he’s been taught about Jinn. All This Twisted Glory As the long-lost heir to the Jinn throne, Alizeh has finally found her people―and she might’ve found her crown. Cyrus, the mercurial ruler of Tulan, has offered her his kingdom in a twisted exchange: one that would begin with their marriage and end with his murder. Cyrus’s dark reputation precedes him; all the world knows of his blood-soaked past. Killing him should be easy―and accepting his offer might be the only way to fulfill her destiny and save her people. But the more Alizeh learns of him, the more she questions whether the terrible stories about him are true.
