Daughter of the Sunken Empire

"Daughter of a Sunken Empire" is a popular romantic fantasy book series written by Frankie Diana Mallis from the USA.

The main character, Lady Liriana Batavia, is the third heir to the throne of Bamaría. She is nineteen years old and intends to become a mage, which will secure her wealth and privileges. However, life in the empire is under threat because of the laws established by the emperor of the Lumerian Empire. Those who possess forbidden magic face execution—and because of this, Lir lost her cousin.

For many years, Lir has protected her sisters by helping them hide forbidden magic. But when her own magic becomes known, she must undergo harsh warrior training so she won’t be banished from the empire. During this training, she risks everything—her family, her country, and even her life.

Moreover, conspirators and an enemy army start infiltrating the country, and the secrets of her family threaten to be revealed.

To survive and save her sisters, Lir may have to sacrifice her heart—especially given her forbidden relationship with Lord Ryan Hart, whom she loves since childhood.
