Ashesofvengeance Stories

From Ashes, a Lady Rises When thirteen-year-old Elara Ashthorne's family is slaughtered, she flees into exile with nothing but a locket and a name. For eleven years she hides in plain sight as "Linnet," a frail farm boy who grows into a legend whispered of in taverns and villages. Trained in secrecy, sharpened by vengeance, she returns at twenty-four to reclaim her birthright and cross twelve names off her list. But court is a nest of serpents, and betrayal waits even in the arms of a betrothed she never chose. With Rowan - the boy who once trained beside her, now the man who refuses to leave her side - Elara must wield her blade, her wit, and her heart. For in a kingdom built on ashes and blood, vengeance may win her justice... but love may be the fire that saves her soul.
