In the Fae realm, magic is life—and entering without it means death. For three mortal siblings with hidden half-Fae blood, that truth becomes terrifyingly real when darkness breaches their doorstep.
Ry returns from three years of brutal military training in the Fae Kingdom of Qualantia to find his younger brother, Trea, ensnared by a seductive succubus just as his latent magic begins to awaken on his eighteenth birthday. When she vanishes with Trea into the shadows, Ry and Trea’s twin sister Sami give chase—unaware that Trea was never the prize, but the bait.

Ry is the secret heir to Qualantia’s throne, and his grandfather’s death has placed him one step closer to power—a power the Demon King of Nethraxis will do anything to claim. As the veil between realms fractures, unleashing the upper demon Kraveth and triggering the rise of Nethraxis, the siblings must confront betrayal, forbidden magic, and the twisted laws of a world where monsters cannot die and nature itself is inverted.

To save their brother and protect the Fae Kingdom, they must enter the demon realm—and risk becoming the very weapons darkness has been waiting for.

In Whispers of the Forgotten, the second installment of Alaina Stanford’s An Indication of Deceit series, the veil between truth and myth grows dangerously thin.

As the kingdoms reel from betrayal and the leyline trembles beneath mounting chaos, a new threat emerges—one born not of war, but of memory. The Glenblade bearers must confront the cost of rewriting history, where even a single omission can birth a monster. Deep beneath the earth, a serpent forged from corrupted legacy waits to devour the world, and only unity can stop it.

Aboveground, alliances are tested as humans, elves, and Fae fight side by side, desperate to hold the line. Love blooms in the shadow of war, secrets unravel, and the final battle demands more than strength—it demands truth.

This is a story of reckoning, resilience, and the power of shared pain. The Glenblades remember everything. And now, so must the world.
