In a world where power is fleeting and betrayal runs deep, Throne of Ashes follows the journey of Selene Orlova, a young woman whose life is shattered by the destruction of her peaceful town. Once surrounded by love and safety, Selene is forced to navigate a world steeped in intrigue, vengeance, and the harsh realities of a war-torn empire.
After the brutal attack on her town, Selene loses everything: her family, her home, and her former life. The only ones left by her side are Freya Sinclair, her childhood friend who hides a growing ambition, and Aurelius Falk, the stoic protector who has always been there for her. Together, they try to rebuild their lives from the ashes of their past, but the shadows of betrayal are never far behind.
As Selene meets Lucian Belvoir, the enigmatic prince of a vast empire, she becomes entangled in a web of power struggles, secrets, and unexpected love. But the true enemy lies much closer than she thinks-hidden within the royal family and the friends she once trusted.
In a world where love, loyalty, and power collide, Selene must rise to claim what is rightfully hers. But can she rebuild the throne that was lost, or will the ashes of the past consume her and everyone she holds dear?

The Work of a Wife | 18+
Previously published as The First Lady's Vengeance. Selene Moreau was never just a wife. She was the architect. While the world saw a graceful First Lady, she was the one writing the speeches, managing the donors, and making Alexander Moreau untouchable. She built him from raw ambition into the most powerful man in the country. Then he decided he didn't need her anymore. When the mistress surfaces and the scandal breaks and the man she made tries to erase her from the story, Selene doesn't defend herself. She moves. Through Washington's corridors and private clubs and the carefully maintained silences between powerful men, she turns what she knows into leverage. And she knows everything. But a dangerous billionaire has been watching her longer than she realizes. A rival is waiting for the right moment. And Camille Durand is not the simple threat she appeared to be. Every player in this city has a game. Selene is the only one playing for the end.
