Just dropping by to let you know that *Heir of Ashes* now has a new synopsis—yeeey!
          	
          	---
          	The dragon that once scorched half of Orine to ash is long dead, slain by the father Princess Aveline Goldhorn has spent her whole life trying to make proud. But peace, it turns out, was never her inheritance. She does not suit the quiet path laid out for her, and is helpless at the political games of a court that fears her strength.
          	
          	When the mercenary sent to kidnap her ends up at her mercy instead, she binds him with a vow she barely understands herself, a leash neither of them can fully see the length of. Tynan becomes her viable weapon. Her biggest secret. The one whose eyes were too precious to avoid looking at. She just needs him to obey her completely, but what he vowed was never that.
          	
          	Now, she has to expose whoever ordered her kidnapping without revealing what she's done to survive it. Every step forward pulls her further from the bargain she struck with her twin brother, Aaron, her one true path to the crown she was never supposed to want. And deeper into debt to a menacing witch she has no way of repaying.
          	
          	In a kingdom built on ashes, Aveline must decide how much of herself she is willing to burn away to become the queen no one believes she can be.
          	
          	*Heir of Ashes is the first book in the Tales Of Ash, Chaos, And Gold trilogy: A slow-burn epic romantasy about inheritance, loyalty, and the price of being trusted. Featuring forbidden love and deep world-building.*

Here's the old one, just for comparison:
          	  
          	  Her family doubts her. Her enemies tempt her. And her heart betrays her. Will Princess Aveline burn for the crown, or be consumed by it?
          	  
          	  Many years ago, the kingdom of Orine was scorched by a vicious dragon, turning half its land into a desert of ashes. Now, its people demand a stable heir to ensure lasting peace. But Princess Aveline Goldhorn is anything but stable. Cursed by a witch, haunted by past mistakes, and dismissed as reckless, she dares to aim for the crown.
          	  An unstoppable warrior with more ambition than diplomacy, Aveline must untangle the secrets behind the throne, face her guilty conscience, and decide who she can trust. Is her family on her side, or are her enemies the only ones who want to stay close? And what of the mercenary whose precious green eyes seem to promise both protection and ruin?
          	  In a kingdom built on ashes and lies, Aveline longs for the freedom to write her own legacy-even if it means burning everything she loves... and herself.

Hi, guys! :)
          
          I’ve been away for a while, but I haven’t been idle. Over the past months, I’ve done an intensive revision of the beginning of the book *Heir of Ashes*, based on the feedback you gave me, and I’ve rewritten chapters 7 through 24 (and chapter 59).
          
          I changed the order of several events in the first part, focusing on improving the pacing. Now there’s more tension and mystery leading into the second part. I hope this will work as a better hook. If you’ve already finished reading and are interested in the specifics of the changes, feel free to reach out—I’d be more than happy to discuss them with you :D
          
          Among the changes, I’ll be treating chapters 1 through 5 as a prologue. The first part of the story will now begin with chapter 6.
          
          This hiatus (along with some personal matters) has affected the progress of the second book, Mistress of Chaos, so I’ll be adjusting its expected release date to 2027.

I’ve noticed how most of my readers are quiet, introspective souls, just like me. I guess I attract people of a similar nature? 
          
          Even though you’re quiet, I see the numbers rising daily, so I know you’re all here. Thank you so much for stopping by and bringing life to the questionable voices in my head. 
          
          I know I’ve been absent this month; a lot has been going on in my personal life. I'm renovating my apt, I have bridesmaid duty, and my cat got sick. But I haven’t forgotten any of my commitments; I just wanted to ask for your patience.
          
          I’ll be back soon, and I’ll bring news ✨️
          
          Xoxo.

**HEIR OF ASHES IS NOW FINISHED!!!**
          
          Well, it's been quite a journey. This story started out so small, just an idea to practice my English writing, and now it's a 190k-word, 60-chapter behemoth. 
          There were sleepless nights with ideas bubbling in my head, BIZARRE research (I swear, the authorities must suspect I'm a psycho) and many debates with the story's fairy godmother, my beloved friend and great inspiration @Machado-Ribeiro <3 
          
          I can only thank everyone who has read or intends to read Aveline and her ashen path to the crown! Thank you so much, and I hope to see you soon in the next volume: Mistress Of Chaos!

Hiiii, I'm the host of Romantically Reviewed 2026. I'm just here to ask you something. Is it okay with you if I take more time to read your book? To finish a 50 chapter book might take me around 1 month so, maybe I'll finish your book somewhere in between March or April. I just wanted to ask if you're fine with it ♥️ I'm sorry if I'm causing you any inconveniences with my speed of reading :⁠,⁠-⁠)

@eclipsedcookie To tell you the truth, I plan to publish it as an ebook one day when I've completed the entire series. But I need beta readers to help me find flaws and mistakes, so feel free to be critical with your feedback—I'll love it.

@eclipsedcookie Not at all! I think it would be impossible or unhealthy to finish HOA in less time. My story is quite long, with over 190k words. Read it at your own pace. I just hope you like it. And pleaaaaase let me know what you think.

HOA is just half a step away from the end. On the 14th, I will release the epilogue and a small announcement to warm your little hearts.
          
          I've been so busy with home renovations these days that I completely forgot to let you know that three chapters were coming out last night. Like last time, the smut is an extra, and I threw in another one because it seemed mean to make you wait another week for the ending. See? I'm a sweetheart!
          
          Have fun–or not ❤️

@kteixeira3 omgggg all the best ❣️And yes, you really are the sweetest >⁠.⁠<

Heir of Ashes is officially entering its final 100 pages. And you know what that means for a fantasy story, right?
          
          The slow burn might be burning, but the theme of this story is ashes, so..... Anyway, the last chapter is scheduled to come out on Valentine's Day (February 14), so buckle up, dear!
