Ongoing fantasy YA series! If you like adventure and stories with ever-growing stakes, please give Aria a try. I keep it updated every two weeks on Royal Road.
Plot Summary: The life of a runaway is what Vesper has chosen for herself in exchange for abandoning her homeland. After all, with enough magic, intuition, and good fortune, even a child can survive alone in the world of Idrysal. Unfortunately, Vesper’s luck is about to run out, as a wrong turn in a strange city throws her between a legendary assassin and his target, the bearer of an ancient music box.
Having escaped one role, now Vesper finds herself ensnared inside another. What does it mean to become a siren and master the Dragon’s Aria? And if given the chance, will she forsake her new purpose as well?
