She cannot burn. He was sent to destroy her. The fire between them will change everything.
Saoirse has spent her life hiding the one thing that marks her as different: she is Unburnt. In a world where fire-magic determines rank, power, and survival, a girl who does not ignite is considered a failure of bloodline. When the Ashen Court comes for her, she has two choices - comply, or be erased.
She does not comply.
Kael Valdris is the Court's ruthless Second, the man who runs the Trials that break candidates into submission. He has been given one private order: assess the Unburnt girl, and neutralise her before she understands what she truly is. He has never failed a mission.
He has never met anyone like her before, either.
Forced into proximity by Court law, Saoirse and Kael begin as enemies and cannot seem to stop. But as the Trials grow more dangerous and the ancient magic between them refuses to stay dormant, something is awakening - in the fire, in the history no one was supposed to find, and in two people who were never supposed to trust each other at all.
Ashes & Embers is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy featuring a morally grey hero, a fierce and fire-resistant heroine, a richly built magic system, and a fated bond that the ruling Court has been suppressing for three centuries. For good reason.
Book One of The Ashen Court trilogy.
For readers of Fourth Wing, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and From Blood and Ash.
