A century after the War of the Ashes shattered the old world, humanity lives under the fragile protection of the immortal Cinderen—a powerful race who demand unbreakable oaths in exchange for their aid. Promises hold power, and breaking them exacts a cost far greater than death. Evander, a cold and enigmatic Cinderen bound by a curse he refuses to explain, collects these promises like currency. His path collides with Aelys, a fierce and determined young woman whose own oath is shrouded in mystery. Drawn together by necessity but divided by mistrust, their relationship is a volatile mix of attraction, hatred, and manipulation. Aelys has a plan: to use Evander to infiltrate the Cinderen from within and destroy them for good. But Evander’s own agenda—and the secrets he harbors—may be just as dangerous. Bound by forces they can’t fully control, the line between ally and enemy blurs with every step deeper into the mirror world where betrayal, blood, and fire reign. As their choices unravel the delicate balance between worlds, Aelys and Evander are forced to ask themselves: How much of their humanity—or their immortality—are they willing to sacrifice? In Ashes of an Oath, promises are forged in fire and broken in blood. The price of trust is steep, and the cost of survival might be their very souls.

She thought she had everything—a strong mate, a respected title, and a place to call home. But beneath the surface, her world was crumbling. Her mate, Alpha Damian Blackwood, only married her because fate demanded it. He never loved her. He never wanted her. And when she failed to conceive an heir after three years, he found comfort in another woman—Lillith Vaughn, the beautiful and cunning she-wolf who had been Selene’s closest friend. The ultimate betrayal came when Lillith announced she was carrying Damian’s child. But before Selene could process the pain, she was framed for killing the unborn pup.

Because this time, she won’t just rewrite her destiny—she will set the entire werewolf world on fire.

Magic is dying, and those who once wielded it are being hunted to extinction. Branded a traitor and stripped of his power, Kael Veydris awakens after a decade of imprisonment with only a cryptic command burned into his mind: "Find the Last Ember."

But some forces believe magic was never meant to return—and they will stop at nothing to see it erased.

In the fractured kingdoms of Eldyra, where deserts bleed molten ore and fungal forests whisper forgotten names, three outcasts are bound by a lie older than the stars. Kael, a guilt-ridden blacksmith, wields a hammer that burns with the soul of a traitorous knight. Lira, an outcast herbalist, dreams of a goddess’s death—and wakes with bloody hands. Tyrus, a thief with no past, carries daggers that devour his memories to feed a love he can’t recall. When Voidspawn—shapeshifting demons born from a murdered goddess’s rage—swarm their homes, the trio is branded as heretics and forced to flee. Their only hope lies in the Celestial Anchors, ancient relics said to halt the apocalyptic Dusk Eclipse. But as they uncover the truth, they realize the anchors are not tools of salvation… but locks. A thousand years ago, the goddess Nyrisia sacrificed herself to trap a cosmic parasite that feeds on mortal suffering. The “curse” she left behind was a shield, not a punishment. Now, her reincarnation (Lira) is unraveling, Tyrus’s lost love is the parasite’s avatar, and Kael’s hammer demands he kill the only friend he’s ever had. As kingdoms burn and allies betray them, the three must choose: reignite Nyrisia’s war and doom the world to eternal hunger, or shatter the anchors and unleash the parasite’s full wrath. But the greatest threat lies within—Lira’s goddess is waking, Tyrus’s dagger is a key, and Kael’s hammer remembers how to kill a god.
