Tower of Ash and Darkness
FIRST BOOK IN THE TOWER OF ASH SERIES
Tower of Ash and Betrayal
SECOND BOOK IN THE TOWER OF ASH SERIESWith over 1,000 copies sold in its first months, this dark fantasy debut has captivated readers with its slow-burn romance, forbidden love, lyrical prose, and richly immersive world steeped in prophecy, power, and desire.
Lailah is the only witch of her century—a rare and feared being raised by the Vampire King to serve as his ultimate weapon. Bound by duty, she longs to escape the gilded cage that has defined her life.
But when she crosses paths with Casper—the king's lethal shadow whose past is as enigmatic as her own—her carefully constructed world begins to fracture. Desire sparks between them, exposing truths she was never meant to know, a forbidden power hidden in prophecy, and a pull toward him that could unravel them both.
As a legendary stone capable of reshaping the world draws them into a deadly game, Lailah must decide: Will she sacrifice her heart to save a world that has never accepted her—or risk everything to seize her freedom?
Tower of Ash and Darkness is the first book in the Tower of Ash series, a spellbinding blend of dark fantasy, forbidden romance, and high-stakes adventure where love and power collide—and the line between salvation and ruin is drawn in ash.
THE DIVINE BARGAIN
NEW SERIES COMING THIS SEPTEMBER 2026
Long before the Olympians carved their names into history—before heroes, hymns, and myths rose like flames from embers—there were the Primordials.
The first gods. Time. Chaos. Creation itself.
And beneath them lived the first mortals, born into a world still deciding whether humanity was worth saving at all.
Sorcha is one of those mortals. A doeme, a slave bred for obedience—her body is owned, her mind conditioned, her soul treated as currency by men who wear godhood like a crown and believe dominion is their birthright. She was never meant to survive this world. Only to endure it long enough to break. And so she clings to a single truth: Chaos—the god of the void, of endings, of oblivion—is the only force that promises an end to suffering.
But even that end is not hers to claim.
Because when Chronos—the god of the beginning, the middle, and the end, untouched by mercy and unmoved by desire—saw her, something within him shifted. In that moment, he defied the first and greatest law of divinity. To save Sorcha, Chronos makes a forbidden bargain—one soul exchanged for one life. The cost fractures eternity itself. Time warps. The future splinters. And Sorcha becomes bound to a fate she cannot outrun.
And when she finally comes face-to-face with the god who altered creation for her, she learns the most devastating truth of all:
Her life was never truly hers.
This is not a retelling, but a lost myth—of love blooming where it should not, of power bending where it was meant to remain absolute, and of a mortal woman forced to decide whether fate is something to endure or something to defy.
