Map of Ashes

Mara Vey keeps maps the way other people keep secrets-folded, annotated, and fiercely guarded. By day she is an apprentice cartographer; by night she hides a lineage the Fourfold Council declared extinct: Shadow, the power to erase names, places, and memories. When a treaty appears in a book of dead poets-neat, confident, and altered to start a war-Mara is accused of forgery and forced to guide Kade Thorne, the Storm Court's heir, to the original.

Kade is everything she was taught to fear: disciplined, ruthless, and loyal to a court that hunts what she is. But as they travel through ruined lighthouses and salt‑scarred borders, their rivalry becomes something more dangerous than either of them expected. To expose the manipulator who rewrote the world, Mara must use the very power that will hollow her from the inside out-and Kade must decide whether duty is worth more than the woman he has come to love.

A fierce enemies‑to‑lovers fantasy about memory, sacrifice, and the maps we draw to keep each other safe.
