The Chaos Realm
Blood of blackwoods
Book 1 of the Chaos realm
Ambition is in their blood.
Temptation will be their downfall.
Prince Fallon Blackwood has spent a hundred years defending his kingdom from enemies lurking in the shadows. But the latest threat is the one standing at his side. After a century in exile, his older brother Dillon has returned as a hero, beloved by the people of Sinaryos. But Fallon sees a vengeful demonborn prince, hungry for the throne and willing to kill anyone who stands in his way.
Yet Dillon isn’t the only danger. Fallon’s newly awakened Kaos magic is spiraling out of control, with every volatile surge threatening to destroy the very people he’s sworn to protect. Desperate to contain the destructive forces around him, he seeks help from two unlikely allies—a disgraced mage who has sworn off teaching forever, and a formidable Estellian aristocrat with a reputation built on blood and gold.
Revna Winters vowed she would never train another student—not after her last one died screaming in her arms. But when a Sacred Son of Sinaryos—a descendant of the gods—commands her to be his tutor, refusing him isn’t an option. Fallon’s life depends on her. The fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance. If she’s going to survive the Blackwood Court long enough to redeem herself, there can be no mistakes.
And no distractions.
But on the day of her very first lesson with Fallon, she’s formally introduced to her latest error in judgment—Peregrine “Rin” Marinossian. Not only is he the brutal enforcer and heir of his family’s ruthless banking dynasty…he’s also the man who set her soul on fire after a chance encounter led to a reckless night of passion. He promised Revna they would never meet again. Now, he’s sitting at Fallon’s side, watching her with those same dark, dangerous eyes that made her feel alive for the first time in years.
Rin told himself he would forget all about that night with the alluring, yet lowborn mage. But one look at Revna, and every sinful caress, every shuddering breath, comes rushing back to haunt him. Her presence threatens everything he’s built—his reputation, his strategic alliances, and the unshakeable resolve he’s spent a lifetime perfecting.
The worst part? She makes him want to throw it all away.
In a court where power is the deadliest weapon, and losing control can be fatal, Revna and Rin both know that one wrong move will be their undoing. But as Fallon’s magic burns the world around them and Dillon’s cruelty descends into madness, surrendering to the chaos realm might not just be inevitable—
It might be the only way to survive.
