In a world ruled by the merciless Dominion, rebellion is a death sentence-and freedom is a distant dream. Sera Kael, a cunning and fearless rebel leader, has spent her life fighting to tear down the oppressive regime that destroyed her family. Her every move is calculated, her every mission a strike against the heart of tyranny. But when a daring raid goes awry, Sera finds herself face-to-face with the Dominion's most lethal weapon: Commander Renar Voss.
Renar is everything Sera despises-an elite enforcer with a ruthless reputation and unwavering loyalty to the regime. Yet beneath his cold, calculating exterior lies a man burdened by secrets, torn between duty and doubt. When fate forces Sera and Renar into an uneasy alliance, their fiery clashes ignite something neither of them expects: an undeniable spark that threatens to consume them both.
As they venture deeper into the Dominion's stronghold, uncovering horrors that challenge their beliefs, Sera and Renar must decide where their true loyalties lie. Bound by necessity and haunted by their growing feelings, they face trials that will test the limits of trust, survival, and love.
But in a world where betrayal is as common as breathing, how far can enemies go to become something more?
Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Red Queen, Ashes of Dominion is a high-stakes, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance set in a dystopian world where love and rebellion collide.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
