Heir of Ashes is the first book in the Tales Of Ash, Chaos, And Gold trilogy: A slow-burn epic romantasy about inheritance, loyalty, and the price of being trusted. Featuring forbidden love and deep world-building. --- The dragon that once scorched half of Orine to ash is long dead, slain by the father Princess Aveline Goldhorn has spent her whole life trying to make proud. But peace, it turns out, was never her inheritance. She does not suit the quiet path laid out for her, and is helpless at the political games of a court that fears her strength. When the mercenary sent to kidnap her ends up at her mercy instead, she binds him with a vow she barely understands herself, a leash neither of them can fully see the length of. Tynan becomes her viable weapon. Her biggest secret. The one whose eyes were too precious to avoid looking at. She just needs him to obey her completely, but what he vowed was never that. Now, she has to expose whoever ordered her kidnapping without revealing what she's done to survive it. Every step forward pulls her further from the bargain she struck with her twin brother, Aaron, her one true path to the crown she was never supposed to want. And deeper into debt to a menacing witch she has no way of repaying. In a kingdom built on ashes, Aveline must decide how much of herself she is willing to burn away to become the queen no one believes she can be.

In a land ravaged by war and destruction, it's not uncommon to find orphans and wanderers with no set path and little knowledge of themselves. Morana is no exception. Her life has been one of inconsistency, moving from place to place every few years, always trying to keep ahead of an unknown danger. But she can't hide forever, and danger is quickly closing in. When a brutal attack leaves Morana alone and on the run, she has no choice but to search for answers, both about herself and about the Dark Lord pursuing her. Her only clue leads her to someone who may have the answers she seeks, but can she trust one who was created by her enemy? Time is running out for everyone and the end of an age approaches. Morana will either rise from the ashes or find herself in a grave beneath them. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements.
