The forest does not want to be crossed. She crossed it anyway.
Asha Vane has spent her whole life obeying one rule: never enter the Emberwood. Her grandmother built that rule out of fear and love and forty years of silence about why it mattered, and Asha honored it - until the night her grandmother fell ill with a fever that only one healer could cure, and that healer lived on the other side of the forest.
She goes in alone. The path moves. And a man drops out of a tree with ember-colored eyes and the particular stillness of someone who has been waiting, without quite knowing it, for a very long time.
Caelum serves the Ash Court, the ancient power that governs the Emberwood. He does not guide every traveler who gets lost. He chose her - because the forest recognized her, because her grandmother left an echo in these trees forty years ago, and because Asha Vane arrived in the dark with a map that no longer worked and refused to call herself lost.
One night through a forest that bends time. A court that asks nothing and gives freely. A healer on the other side, a grandmother who recovers, and a door that was never locked from the outside.
A Court of Ash and Ember is a slow-burn fantasy romance about the courage it takes to cross something dangerous for someone you love, the secrets that families keep to protect rather than to hide, and what happens when you find, in the last place you were told to look, the person who has always known the shape of you.
