Fire and Shadows Mate #1
Emberfall
Not yet published
Expected 27 Mar 26He died once. Waking up in the arms of his fated mate—a possessive dragon-blooded alpha who thinks he's a liar—might be a worse fate.
After falling forty-two stories, CEO Evan Ashwyck wakes up in a magical medieval world. He’s no longer the ruthless executive who fought his way to the top; he’s an omega in a body that isn’t his, claimed by a grumpy, morally gray alpha who is way too handsome for his own good.
Gregory Dax is a fugitive with a price on his head. He's been pushing his fated mate away for years, convinced he's a spy. But his mate's body is now inhabited by a total stranger—a soul from another world who denies their past while driving his dragon instincts mad.
Bound by magic and hunted by a ruthless empire, they have to survive in a world full of secrets and assassins, where trust is a luxury they can't afford. When their connection is the greatest danger of all, will their bond be their salvation or the very thing that gets them killed?
Emberfall is a character-driven, dual point-of-view MM fantasy romance set in the dark, magical world of the Fire and Shadows Mate series. Expect fated mates, a grumpy dragon-blooded alpha, a soul from another world, and plenty of angst, magic, and adventure, with a guaranteed HEA.

Review of advance copy received from Author
This was my first dive into OV and it couldn't have been more perfect because me and the MC learned what that meant together!
I loved this book. It has great world building without bogging you down with too much info. So much effort is spent so you know the characters and their personalities and motives really well.
This has so many twists I didn't see coming and the plot is a great pace so it keeps you engaged. There's so many of my favorite tropes in here and I loved the soul swapping aspect and the magic system.
I would recommend this to anyone wanting to dip their toes into OV or any OV lover.

Arc in exchange for an honest review,
I just finished this and overall I’d give it 4/5 stars. The plot was solid and kept me intrigued the whole way through.
There were a few twists that I definitely didn’t see coming, which made it even more fun to read. The ending especially surprised me — I really didn’t see it coming and will definitely reading the second book when it comes out!
Overall, a really engaging read.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Stars
