Catherine | THE CROWN OF ASHES

There are whispers in the drawing rooms of Victorian England-tales of a lady admired by all, yet hiding a secret no one dares speak aloud.

Catherine moves with quiet grace, but beneath silken gowns and polite smiles, she is no gentlewoman. Burned for witchcraft long ago, she has returned-cold, cunning, and vengeful, with forbidden magic in her veins and memories that stretch beyond the grave.

The world that once betrayed her now bows to propriety and power, but men of science scoff, priests pray, and women gossip-blind to the storm that stirs behind her eyes. Allies are scarce, enemies abound, and every step she takes brings her closer to the vengeance she has waited lifetimes to claim.

"When the old gods whisper again, Catherine will rise-not as a queen, but as a curse. And the crown she seizes will be forged in ash."
