Anchored to the Ashes: A New Adult Romantic Fantasy
Not yet published
Expected 25 Feb 27The second book in the Promised to the Pyre series.
Despite the odds, Elyn survived the magralot attack on Tör camp. Now she’s property of the Haxa Council, and the Council wants a weapon. Whispers hint at why. The Council has gotten its hands on one of the ancient striga artifacts and is negotiating with a desicruci. The iroas is meant to seal the pact, assuming Elyn can use magic by the fall equinox. To get there, Council Member Thames Longclaw will bleed the magic out of her one dagger at a time.
The exchange will happen, unless the artifact disappears before the equinox.
Stealing it means breaking into the Council’s most guarded stronghold. Elyn pulls together a group of unlikely allies who can barely stand each the ex who accused her of murder, the warrior who won’t stop watching her, and the winged commander nobody trusts at all.
A new adult romantic fantasy with a morally gray heroine, forced proximity, magic training, and a slow-burn romance that bites.
