The World of La Hope
About the Series
A kingdom where power, loyalty, family, and betrayal are worth more than diamonds and gold.
The Diamonds & Gold Series
The Diamonds & Gold Series is an epic fantasy saga set in the magnificent kingdom of La Hope — a realm of breathtaking beauty, ancient bloodlines, and political intrigue that cuts as deep as any blade. Across ten books, author Rochell Myles weaves a story of a royal family whose bonds of love and loyalty are tested at every turn by ambition, betrayal, and the relentless weight of the crown.
At its heart, this is a story about what we owe to the ones we love — and what we are willing to sacrifice for the ones we rule. It is a story about mothers and daughters, brothers and rivals, queens and the kingdoms they carry on their shoulders.
Loyalty lives forever. But in La Hope, forever comes at a price.
The Kingdom of La Hope
La Hope is a kingdom of contrasts — gleaming spires and shadowed corridors, golden courts and emerald forests, celebrations that ring through the ages and secrets buried so deep they reshape dynasties. It is a place where the crown is both a gift and a burden, where every alliance is a gamble, and where the line between loyalty and betrayal is drawn in the blood of those you love most.
The kingdom's history stretches back centuries, built on the foundations of sacrifice and the unbreakable will of the Gold bloodline. To rule La Hope is to carry every ancestor who came before — and to answer for every choice they made.
At the Heart of the Story
The Great Themes
Loyalty
The series' beating heart — what it means to be loyal to family, to kingdom, and to oneself when all three demand different things.
Power
Who holds it, who wants it, and what it costs to keep it. Power in La Hope is never simply given — it is earned, stolen, or inherited with strings attached.
Family
The royal family is the series' anchor. Their love for one another is fierce and complicated — the source of their greatest strength and their deepest vulnerabilities.
Betrayal
In a kingdom built on alliances, betrayal is the shadow that follows every crown. The series asks: can you forgive the ones who hurt you most when they are also the ones you cannot live without?

Meet the hearts of the kingdom
Queen Loyalty
Queen of La Hope
The matriarch of the Gold dynasty and the soul of the series. Queen Loyalty rules with a fierce grace that masks the sacrifices she has made to hold her kingdom together. Her name is not merely a title — it is a promise she has kept at extraordinary cost.
Princess Crystal
First Princess of La Hope
Brilliant, perceptive, and quietly formidable, Crystal carries the weight of expectation with elegant precision. She sees what others miss and speaks only when her words will matter.
Princess Sparkle
Second Princess of La Hope
Where Crystal is measured, Sparkle is radiant — a force of warmth and fierce loyalty who would burn the world down for the people she loves. Her light is the kingdom's greatest treasure and its most dangerous weapon.
Prince Sunson
Crown Prince of La Hope
The heir apparent walks a razor's edge between duty and desire. Sunson is a prince shaped by expectation, tested by circumstance, and defined by the choices he makes when no one is watching.
Prince Ice
Prince of La Hope
Still waters run deep. Prince Ice is the enigma of the royal family — cool, calculating, and fiercely protective of those he allows inside his walls. His loyalty, once given, is absolute.
Leona
Keeper of the Royal House
Leona is the steady hand behind the throne — a woman of unshakeable loyalty and quiet power whose influence shapes the kingdom in ways the court rarely sees.
Anton Gold II
Lord of the Gold Bloodline
The shadow of the Gold legacy made flesh. Anton Gold II is a man whose ambitions are as vast as the kingdom itself — and whose history with the royal family is written in equal parts devotion and damage.
Princess Zalena Gold
Princess of the Gold Line
Young, fierce, and carrying secrets that could reshape the succession, Zalena Gold is the wildcard of the series — a princess who refuses to be defined by the crown she was born into.
