Clara’s normal life shatters when a stranger’s attack awakens powers she never knew she had—in this Amazon Bestseller YA romantasy filled with ancient magic, slow-burn romance, and dark secrets.
At six years old, Clara met fire and shadow.
Her parents were murdered, her home burned to the ground, and her past erased.
She grew up believing she was a delusional orphan, haunted by fragments of memories that made no sense. The only clue was her mother’s jade necklace—a relic as mysterious as it was beautiful.
Now, as a pre-med student, Clara lives a so-called normal life. But when a stranger attacks and a surge of power explodes from within, everything changes. Her memories are real. The man who hunted her is back. And she is far from safe. As Clara’s abilities grow, so do the questions about who—and what—she really is.
Across the ocean, Robin—more monster than man—has spent a thousand years bound to darkness, watching empires rise and fall. But when Clara stumbles into his path, something about her shatters his centuries-old indifference. As danger closes in, Robin finds himself drawn to her, even as he battles the monster within.
Clara is thrust into a world where love and loyalty are as fragile as the truths she seeks. To survive, she must unlock the power that has been her destiny all along.
The Jade Necklace is the first book in The Chosen and the Cursed series. The story continues in The Black Shards—a saga where love, magic, and fate collide.
