An AshFieran Duet #2
Ashix Rising
After Raine shoves her mother and Kal through a portal back to Earth, she closes it off from her father, who is hellbent on using her mother as leverage along with trying to kill her mate.
After she’s drugged with a magic dulling concoction by the irritating male, Zynas, Raine finds herself in a new environment. Now, she fights her father's control over her powers and encounters a chance to free her Ashix, Beauty, and herself. All while dodging advances from the aggravating male, Zynas, and her growing attraction to him.
She must find a way to reunite with Kal, keep her head above water regarding Zynas, and stop her father from continuing to destroy the world she grew up in.
Ashix Rising is the second book in The AshFieran Duet, and a happy ending is guaranteed. Please check the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book, or find them on the author's website. While there aren't many, it's still important to take care of your mental well-being.

I absolutely am obsessed with this duet 🥹. The spice, perfection! The emotions, so much to unpack! I just… this book was absolutely everything and I’m so excited to see what K.L. Will do in the future!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars
Ashix Rising was everything I hoped it would be and more. The stakes were higher, the world darker, and the characters even more compelling. I loved the deeper dive into the shadow assassins and watching the FMC truly come into her power—her bond with her beast was fierce, emotional, and beautifully written. The romance took center stage in all the best ways, and I found myself cheering her on like “Yes girl, get him!” The pacing flowed perfectly, and by the end, I was so emotionally invested that I was shedding actual tears. An incredible follow-up to AshFiera—this duet is absolutely unforgettable.

“A wild ride through portals, power struggles, and way too many feels!”
Ashix Rising picks up the story at full throttle and doesn’t let go. Raine’s fight against her father’s manipulative control had me on edge the entire time, and the magic-dulling concoction? Ugh, I felt every ounce of her frustration.
The chemistry between Raine and Zynas? Whew. It’s that delicious slow-burn, “I-shouldn’t-want-you-but-oh-no-here-we-are” tension that keeps you flipping pages at 2 a.m. The stakes are high, the danger real, and the emotional beats hit exactly where they should.
K.L. Andersen has built a world that’s not only vibrant but filled with characters you root for, even when they’re infuriating. The ending delivers that promised HEA, but not without leaving you a little breathless.
If you love portal fantasies, enemies-to-lovers tension, and heroines who refuse to bow under pressure, Ashix Rising will scratch all the right itches.

OKAY. MY HEART.
I love Kal. and I think I love Zy even more. From the second I finished AshFiera, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. Ashix Rising was somehow even better than AshFiera! I have been OBSESSED with this duet since I found the author. The whole journey Raine goes on - struggling with her father, her attraction to Zy, her longing for her mate Kal, her love for her Ashix Beauty, her new flame, AND what becomes of all of them. It's a wild ride and it was wonderful. K.L. Anderson's writing is only getting better and better with each book she releases and I am here for every single one! If you love fantasy, a bad-ass female overcoming childhood trauma and a bit of spice with her mate(s), I highly higly recommend you read this (and make sure you snag the first one, AshFiera too!)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ultimo libro della dilogia!
Avevo un po’ di dubbi su questo libro, perché il primo non mi aveva colpito particolarmente.
Ho trovato un miglioramento generale, dalla trama ai personaggi.
La trama è più chiara e dettagliata, non ci sono punti “morti”; ti tiene incollata alle pagine! I colpi di scena non sono tanti, ma sono molto belli ed interessanti.
L’autrice ha messo la giusta percentuale tra romance ed azione, ed è una cosa che ho apprezzato davvero tanto!
Ho trovato i personaggi scritti e caratterizzati molto meglio, hanno più spessore e viene dato più spazio alle loro emozioni!
Raine è un personaggio molto piacevole da leggere, soprattutto ci si riesce ad empatizzare tanto con lei!
Questo libro è un finale perfetto per la dilogia!
La consiglio moltissimo!
Last book of the dilogy!
I had some doubts about this book, because the first one didn't particularly impress me.
I found a general improvement, from the plot to the characters.
The plot is clearer and more detailed, there are no "dead" points; it keeps you glued to the pages! The plot twists are not many, but they are very beautiful and interesting.
The author put the right percentage between romance and action, and it's something I really appreciated!
I found the characters written and characterized much better, they have more depth and more space is given to their emotions!
Raine is a very pleasant character to read, especially you can empathize with her a lot!
This book is a perfect ending to the dilogy!
I highly recommend it!

I was lucky enough to get to read this early. It was absolutely fantastic. I went into this book not like male coz of how book one ended but he worked his way into my heart in this one. As he did with the FMCs heart.
The development of the book was fantastic and the plot was so engaging with a why chose romance, found family, dragon companions and magic so amazing and how it ended was such an amazing ending to the book and the duology.

Oh! My! Goodness!!! The spice in this one be SPICING!! ahhh. I love how this story ended up playing out! I know it's supposed to be a duet, but I want more... Kal & Zy & Raine's story is spectacular. The trials they all have to go through, but they gt their HEA.
Phenomenal writing! Spectacular character development and world building! I ADORE this world and these characters. Oh how my heart broke a little. But thank you so much for putting it back together again.

Must read AshFiera due to the cliffhanger! Ashix Rising is such a great fantasy read! I love Raine and her character growth. She was still a badass tho! The struggle she goes through with her father and the strength she shows to get through it is amazing. The why chose aspect between Zy and Kal kept my heart racing. The writing is spectacular, the plot did not disappoint and I would recommend this duology to anyone!

This is the sequel to AshFiera. It picks up right where the first book ends. The pacing felt a little off at times but I think that was mostly due to the build up to the climax of the story. Raine is such a strong and independent fmc. I like that this is not a love triangle and there’s a guaranteed HEA. I would love to get some side stories on her mom and the rest of her family as well as maybe even a little glimpse from the pov of the Ashix. Definitely worth the read.

The conclusion to the duet,
If you struggle to get into fantasy romance novels this one will definitely help you get into it. FMC finds her self with 2 mates in this second book and really comes into her magical powers more, which she has in part extended to her mates.

A phenomenal followup to the first!!
Not going to lie, had a brief moment of heartbreak but it was quickly remedied. The lovely characters and fun storyline continued smoothly from the first book. So grateful for the happy ending for beautiful creatures and characters!
