Empress of Fire and Ash | WATTYS2023

Ishani vowed to make an empire fall and the only way she can is with the help of the dangerously alluring statute-turned man.

*****

Ishani who is too wild and too free to fit into polite noble society, inherits a kingdom that never had nor wanted a female leader on the same night she loses everything. Driven by revenge and the desire for her people to accept her as their Empress, she is led down a path she never foresaw. Neither her rage nor her dreams seem possible to sate. Not until she is forced to accept the help of Mathias, a far too handsome stranger who was condemned to be a statue in the Garden of the Undead for crimes she does not know. That is until she set him free. Two lonely souls, far too accustomed to betrayal and with secrets too dark to share. He is indebted to her and she is desperate to fulfill her vow, but can they trust each other?
