The Ember Courts Saga

Ash and Iron Description

In a world of glittering cruelty, a half-blood thief holds the key to salvation—or destruction.

Lyra, a scrappy half-human, half-fae outcast, claws her way from the slums after killing a fae noble in self-defense, awakening a wild, untamed power. Dragged into the treacherous Ember Courts, she’s forced into an alliance with Prince Torin, the ruthless heir of the Iron Court. Their sharp-edged banter and undeniable chemistry mask a deeper tension as they navigate a world of masquerades, assassinations, and glittering deceit.

But beneath the courts’ fragile truce, a conspiracy brews—one that could reignite the ancient Court Wars. Lyra’s power might be the spark that tips the balance, but Torin’s shadowed past could destroy them both. As betrayals mount and war looms, their reluctant alliance ignites into a passionate, conflicted love, bound by secrets and forged in danger.

In a realm where loyalty is a blade and trust a gamble, Lyra must decide: unite the courts under her rule or burn them all to ash.

Ash and Iron is a dark fantasy romance brimming with political intrigue, forbidden love, and heart-pounding action—a tale of a scrappy heroine and a dangerous prince clashing in a world on the edge of ruin.
