ASH & OATH ~ Book One: Blood on the Silver Screen

In a world divided by a river of iron and gold, where two rival kingdoms force their heirs into a deadly Trial under a sealed dome, survival demands sacrifice... and sometimes, something far more dangerous.

Seraphine Aureline, the luminous heir of the gilded Goldsides, enters the Trial expecting death. Instead, she finds herself trapped in darkness with Kyrin Veynar-the scarred, unyielding warrior of the brutal Ironsides-her lifelong enemy and the one man trained to kill her.

When the dome's lights fail and a monstrous beast is unleashed, the two must fight side by side to survive. What begins as hatred fractures under the weight of necessity: a touch that steadies a trembling hand, a breath shared in the dark, a name whispered like a secret. In the ruins of a forgotten tower, under the suffocating heat of an endless summer, they discover something neither was prepared for-want, raw and undeniable, that could destroy everything they've been raised to protect.

But the world outside is watching. The Council demands answers. Tradition demands blood. And the line between enemy and lover is thinner than a blade.

Now they must choose: obey the oaths that bind them, or break every rule to claim the life they glimpsed in the dark.

A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers epic of forbidden desire, political intrigue, and the cost of choosing each other in a world built to keep them apart.

Perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and From Blood and Ash.
