In the frigid slums of Oakhaven, twenty-year-old Elara Vale survives by playing with fire. As an illegal pyromancer under the thumb of the tyrannical Obsidian King, she steals to keep her orphanage warm. But when a heist goes catastrophically wrong, she finds herself looking down the razor-sharp blade of the King's most feared executioner: Commander Kaelen Snow.
Known as the Ice Hound, Kaelen is a terrifying force of absolute zero. He should have killed her in the alley. Instead, he hauls her before the King, wrapping her in a deadly proposition: travel into the lethal, haunted Whispering Woods to hunt a cult of shadow-weavers, or face the hangman's noose.
Bound together on a suicide mission, Elara quickly realizes the Ice Hound is not the mindless butcher the kingdom believes him to be. Beneath his ruthless exterior and defensive ice magic lies a tragic past, a devastatingly sharp wit, and a protective streak that completely infuriates her.
As they battle mythical Shadow-Beasts and treacherous nobles, the bitter hatred between them begins to thaw, giving way to an undeniable, explosive attraction. But the Obsidian King is playing a much darker game than either of them realize. When a brutal betrayal leaves them isolated and hunted by the entire Vanguard army, Elara and Kaelen must choose: run for their lives, or turn back and burn the King's empire to the ground.
Crown of Cinders is an epic, sweeping romantic fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, and slow-burn 'enemies to lovers' tropes. Packed with cinematic magic battles, witty banter, and pulse-pounding romance.Also in
