The FATE OF ASHES SERIES
A CROWN OF STAR& ASH:
Book 1
When the kingdom of Praiton began overthrowing the surrounding kingdoms of Krigor, no one knew why.
As a healer for Praiton, Deya believed that there was no higher honor in the realm. But when Deya is imprisoned after learning an enormous secret that threatens the regime, her love and loyalty for her kingdom is shattered. Beaten, and tortured, a new, terrible power is unleashed inside of her, a power that she cannot control.
Forced outside of the only kingdom that she has ever known, Deya has no choice but to team up with a band of unlikely rebels that all have one thing in common: the desire for the destruction of Praiton.
One of those rebels is Caelum, a male who spent most of his life inside a prison. Having lost everything to Praiton, Caelum hates everything and everyone from the kingdom…Including Deya. But Caelum has a secret, one that could turn the tide of the war, and one that keeps him pushing everyone and everything away.
As Deya struggles to recover from the trauma of her imprisonment, she is forced to face where her allegiance lies: with the kingdom that betrayed her, or with the male who could destroy it forever.

THE LADY OF FIRE & LIGHT:
PREQUEL NOVELLA
Sometimes a captain's duty is more than just protecting the realm . . .
To Captain Valeria Augusta, nothing is more important than the Pillar Legion and their mission to regain control of the realm from the Kingdom of Praiton. And, of course, to protect her three best friends under her command. Especially when most of the Legion believes the only reason she got her position of captain was because she’s a female rather than for her battle prowess or talent with a flaming sword.
But when General Aris Calatos hears of a plot by the Ember Throne of Maniel, one that could threaten any advantage the Legion may have, Val and the handsome general are thrust together as they work to stop the kingdom from toppling the last free region of the realm.
As the threat of Maniel approaches, Val is forced to not only face the noble past that haunts her, but to fight the dangerous feelings for the general that she can’t shake . . . feelings that neither of them are allowed to have.
Val must decide what is worth protecting more: the mission of the Legion or her very heart.
THE LADY OF FIRE & LIGHT is a Fate of Ashes prequel novella set thirty years before the events of A CROWN OF STAR & ASH.
