Elara has spent her life surviving forces she was never meant to carry, voices that claw at her mind, power that threatens to consume her, and a past that refuses to stay buried.

As betrayal seeps through trusted hands and the line between control and surrender blurs, Elara must decide who she is willing to become to survive. Because some powers do not ask to be wielded.
They demand to be unleashed.
Ashes to the Tides is a dark fantasy romance about fractured identities, forbidden bonds, and the dangerous beauty of choosing yourself,even when the world demands your ruin.
