Throne of Embers (translate)

They were born to be pawns. They will become queens of ash.

A prisoner of a throne that no longer truly belongs to her, Saher silently endures the cruelty of a brother who hates her as much as he fears her. When she is sent to Calens as an emissary, she glimpses a way out of her gilded cage. But this journey marks the beginning of her fall.

Captured by the Ifrits, warriors of ash, Saher becomes a mere bargaining chip. To settle an ancestral debt, they demand her death in the arena. Faced with blood and fire, Saher has only one choice to survive: ally herself with those her people have always called monsters.

Far from the arena, in the poison-scented alcoves of the kingdom of Deneb, her cousin Rosaleen plays an equally deadly game. A spy with an angel's smile, she unearths secrets that should have remained buried beneath the ice. But by pulling the threads of fate, she finds some are beginning to tighten around her own throat.

As the shadows lengthen and ancient powers awaken, a single truth emerges: the greatest threat does not come from monsters. It is born from the fire burning in the eyes of those they should not desire.

The throne is won by blood. Love is paid for with the soul.
