The Ashen Hunt

She hunts the king's enforcers. He hunts her. In a city choked by ash and tyranny, Lyra Verren is the rebellion's sharpest blade, known as the Fern Fox. She strikes from the shadows, wielding forbidden earth magic against King Vaelor's fire-wielding regime. Every raid, every rescue, every act of defiance brings her closer to freeing Thornspire, or dying in the attempt. Kael Ravaryn is the weapon she fears most, the Hound of Cinders. A warlock bound to the king's will, his hands stained with the blood of druids and rebels alike. He's hunted her for months, and he intends to deliver his prey. Until the night she captures him instead. Wounded and stripped of his power, Kael becomes Lyra's prisoner, and her most dangerous secret. She should execute him. The rebellion demands it. But beneath the monster the king created, she discovers something she never expected: a man trapped by forces he doesn't understand, bound to an entity that whispers in his blood and devours his will. As Vaelor's grip on the city tightens and an ancient conspiracy unravels, Lyra faces an impossible choice. Trust the enemy who knows all her secrets, or watch everything she's fought for burn. But Kael is fighting his own war, against the infernal power that made him a killer, and the growing realization that the woman who should be his enemy might be his only salvation. In a world where fire consumes and nature fights to survive, two enemies must decide: destroy each other, or forge an alliance that could reshape their kingdom. Perfect for fans of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, The Ashen Hunt ignites a dark fantasy trilogy of rebellion, redemption, and the dangerous space between hatred and devotion. Begin the hunt.
