The Ember Crown

She cannot die. He cannot feel. Together, they may save a kingdom - or burn it to the ground.

Seraphine Ashveil has survived three executions. Not through luck. Through fire - an ancient power that runs through her blood, a gift the kingdom fears and a secret she has carried alone her entire life.

When Kael Voss, the King's most dangerous operative, offers her freedom in exchange for one impossible task - retrieving a crown lost for three hundred years from a temple no one has ever survived - Seraphine must choose between the axe and the unknown.

She chooses the fire.

Set in a crumbling kingdom of ash and ancient magic, THE EMBER CROWN follows one woman's journey from condemned prisoner to the last guardian of a dying flame-pact, and the cold, careful man who spent three years searching for her - for reasons he has not yet admitted, even to himself.

A slow-burn romantasy novella featuring:

- A fierce, fire-blooded heroine who has never learned to be afraid

- A brooding, secretive hero who keeps very thorough notes

- Ancient magic and a kingdom fracturing at its seams

- Enemies-to-lovers tension across dead forests and midnight libraries

- A found-purpose story with a heart of ember and iron

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Holly Black, and Roshani Chokshi.
