Step into a world where balance is power, and every truth has a shadow. Discover C.S. Evermore’s second book in the series, The Nixian Chronicles: Fate's Deception.
The second book of the series.
Lyara Valen thought shattering an ancient curse would finally buy her peace.
Instead, she’s snatched by a nightmare of living shadow, braving a labyrinth of horrors, and—just when freedom seems within reach—is claimed by the Architect of Prophecy, the mastermind who writes fate itself.
Hurled through splintered realities and a procession of cages: some wrapped in bliss, others steeped in despair.
Back in the waking world, Lyara’s found‑family is bleeding themselves dry to pull her free, cutting deals with Siren song‑mages, and mustering armies sharp as shattered glass.
But the Architect of Prophecy has already rigged the board, and with each breath an invisible noose tightens around Lyara’s throat.
To escape, Lyara must choose which illusion to shatter and which self to sacrifice, while an unseen ally guides her, kindness veiling secrets of its own. Because in this game the prize isn’t survival—it’s who gets to rewrite the ending carved into her bones.

Step into a world where balance is power, and every truth has a shadow. Discover C.S. Evermore’s debut novel, The Nixian Chronicles: The Awakening.
The first book of the series.
She was chosen to uphold balance.
But the prophecy was a lie.
And the truth will shatter not just her world--but everything you thought you understood about loyalty, legacy, and fate itself.
In a world where magic is meant to be balanced or destroyed, The Nixian Chronicles: The Awakening begins a character-driven dark fantasy saga that flips the script on everything you expect from chosen one narratives.
This is not a story about saving the world.
It’s about the price of obedience, the illusion of destiny, and the betrayals that come cloaked in light.
It’s about heroes who understand that sometimes, ruthlessness is mercy--and that mercy can be the cruelest weapon of all.
Featuring morally gray characters shaped by survival--not purity--this emotionally immersive novel weaves prophecy, control, betrayal, and awakening into a slow-burning unraveling of everything sacred.
