She was summoned to a throne that should never have remembered her blood.
Aurelia Serrane has spent her life far from Ashmere, raised among silence, family secrets and warnings never fully explained. But when a royal decree drags her into the capital, she discovers a kingdom built on ash, mirrors and old lies.
The palace expects obedience.
The throne expects something else.
Tavian Morcant, the fae-blooded regent of Ashmere, is everything Aurelia should fear: cold, controlled, politically dangerous and bound to the very court that wants to contain her. He is ordered to watch her, test her and decide whether her bloodline is a threat to the realm.
But the mirrors crack when she tells the truth.
The throne answers when she bleeds.
And the more Aurelia learns about her mother's hidden past, the harder it becomes to know whether Tavian is her jailer, her enemy, or the only man in Ashmere willing to break the rules that keep the kingdom alive.
As court politics turn lethal and forbidden magic begins to wake, Aurelia must decide whether to run from the throne, claim it, or burn down the lie that made it powerful.
But in Ashmere, love is treason.
And the throne remembers every vow made in ash.
Crown of Ash is Book One in The Ashen Throne, a dark royal romantasy duet filled with cursed magic, dangerous court secrets, enemy prince tension, forbidden love, morally grey protection and a powerful heroine discovering the cost of her crown.
