The Ash And The Amber

In the damp undercroft of a fading dynasty, things are easily lost. A misplaced silver coin. A broken cup. A girl with violet eyes who keeps her head cast down and her hair dyed the color of ash.

Entangled in a web of court conspiracies, Zerysa is merely an invisible scullery maid to the masterminds of King's Landing, a useful pair of ears picking up the whispers of plotting lords. But the Red Keep is not the only place built of ancient stone, and the game being played for the Iron Throne is terrifyingly small compared to what is waking across the Narrow Sea. Zerysa has already survived the sorceries of the Far East and the silent wrath of the Black Walls. But even she doesn't yet understand the extent of what looms in the great darkness and in the cold that could freeze magic itself.

When a single, violent night shatters the fragile peace of the royal family, a buried secret spills from the ashes of a dead king's obsession. Suddenly, the shadows she used to hide in begin to feel suffocating. Surrounded by dragons, political executioners, and a broken prince who looks at her with desperate clarity, Zerysa must unleash her true potential, using her magic and everything she has learnt to outsmart her enemies and win the game before the empires of her past drag her back into the dark for her blood and she loses everything and everyone she loves.
