Twisted Roots and Soil (Poison Gold #1)

She secretly longs for power. He will risk all of his, for her.

After a failed ritual ripped away her chance at power, only the color of Alyxia Reyaal’s blood spared her from a fate worse than death. But her failure must remain hidden.

When the one person she relies on to keep her deadly secret, makes the treasonous decision to abandon her, the realm and their sacred golden bloodline, and is implicated in the toxic substance spreading through the soil of Atafye.

Alyxia is forced to choose between the shelter of her home or a dangerous trek across unfamiliar lands, that might just get her killed.

Without magic, she won’t survive the journey alone.

Commander Cayzenn Adiston is the most powerful wielder the Kingdom of Zelindyr has ever produced, its next General—and the last person Alyxia would expect to lead the way.

But as they scale new heights and seek long forgotten answers, a forbidden connection unveils hidden truths that were meant to stay buried.

With time running out to find her sister and a cure, Alyxia must navigate new surroundings and relationships and decide just how far she is willing to go for the ones she loves.
