Ashmere summoned Celestine Blackmere to prove that her blood was dangerous.
Instead, the ash remembered her.
Dragged before the Ember Court, Celestine expects judgement for a treason committed generations before her birth. But when the coronation ash rises at her touch and reveals the name of a woman erased from history, the palace can no longer pretend its oldest rituals are sacred.
They are hungry.
Jareth Valcrest was raised to protect the crown, hide its secrets, and silence anything that threatens the realm. Celestine should be another prisoner under his watch. Instead, she becomes the first person to see the man beneath the weapon, and the only one who may understand why his shadow magic answers the thing beneath the throne.
Forced into an alliance neither of them can safely trust, Celestine and Jareth must uncover the truth behind Ashmere's first coronation before the next heir kneels.
But every vision steals a memory. Every secret strengthens the crown. And every step towards the truth draws Celestine and Jareth closer to a bond the palace was built to consume.
Ashmere does not crown its rulers.
It feeds on them.
