He was her father's most trusted commander. Now, he is her kingdom's greatest monster.
Lyralei Silvermoor was a queen for only three days before the palace doors shattered . Leading the coup was Lord Commander Kaspar Blackthorne-the man who once swore to protect her family, now the butcher of her bloodline . As the city of Astoria burns, Lyralei is taken captive, not to a dungeon, but to the Tower of Stars. Kaspar doesn't want her broken; he wants her to bend .
A Choice Between a Dying Dynasty and a Brutal New World Kaspar claims he is a liberator, not a tyrant-a man born of hunger who has come to dismantle a corrupt system that let its people starve while nobles feasted . He offers Lyralei a choice: remain a powerless prisoner or reign as his Queen, legitimizing his revolution in exchange for the radical reforms she always dreamed of . But the price of his crown is soaked in the blood of her family, and his touch is as dangerous as his blade.
From Fragile Princess to Predator Queen To survive the sharks of the royal court and the vengeful Eastern Lords, Lyralei must shed her royal breeding and embrace the darkness within . Under Kaspar's tutelage, she learns that everyone bleeds-and that power is the only truth that matters . In a world of shifting allegiances and constant threats, she discovers that love is just another kind of violence, and the man who destroyed her world might be the only one who truly sees her .
Ashes of the Fallen King is a gripping dark romantasy novella featuring the enemies-to-lovers trope, forced proximity, and a high-stakes political revolution. Perfect for fans of villain gets the girl stories where the line between hero and monster is blurred.
This book contains explicit adult content, graphic violence, and strong language.
