The Ruby Curse: The Emerald Chronicles Origins Quartet
An Emerald Land Chronicles Origins Novel
Before the slippers shone, they bled.
Beneath a mountain that hums with ancient fire, a lonely young maker named Rhea forges beauty from flame and glass. Her gift is her salvation—until one night, her creation breathes. Born of molten light and whispered longing, Kael is not a man of flesh, but of fire and will.
What begins as fascination becomes devotion.
What begins as creation becomes love.
But love made from flame cannot exist without consequence. As Rhea’s bond with Kael deepens, the mountain stirs, drawing the attention of a jealous Queen of Ash who covets the living fire for herself. Torn between her heart and her craft, Rhea must destroy the flame she loves, or let it consume the world.
Their story is one of passion and ruin, creation and rebirth—a love so powerful it burns through centuries, leaving behind a legacy sealed in glass and blood.
Generations later, the remnants of Rhea’s forge will become the ruby slippers, cursed and revered, carrying her love into legend—and into the hands of another girl destined to awaken the magic once more.
The Ruby Curse is a darkly romantic fantasy about love’s power to create, destroy, and endure. It is the first story in The Emerald Land Origins Quartet, and the beginning of the magic that shapes No Place Like Oz.
