Ashes of the Divine

In a world rebuilding from divine destruction, one girl rises from the ruins-with a fairy at her side and vengeance in her heart.

Nine-year-old Cora lost everything the day the war ended. Her father, a loyal soldier, fell protecting her. In the smoke and silence that followed, a kind stranger-Free Underbar-promised safety with nothing but a quiet voice and steady arms. She never forgot him.

Years later, Rondacia is scarred but still standing. Cora? She's no longer the frightened girl hiding in alleys. She's the fierce, unpredictable captain of the Demon Blood Mafia-reborn from chaos, feared by criminals, and hunted by Dorothea.

But Cora doesn't deal in simple anarchy. Her mafia delivers justice from the shadows, tying up the underworld's worst with crimson ribbons and leaving them as gifts for the law to clean up. No glory. No credit. Just silent war.

Then one night, the past catches up. Free catches her in the act.

Old memories flare. Secrets stir. And as new threats rise in the shadows of post-Divine Beast Rondacia, Cora finds herself at a crossroads between who she was, who she's become-and who she might yet be.

In a world ruled by power, corruption, and fairies, one girl carries the weight of war, the fire of rebellion, and the chance to change it all.
