CROWN OF ASH AND WINGS

He was sent to hunt her down. He captured her instead - and doomed them both to want each other.

Isadora Kell has spent four years leading the last resistance against the Fallen host that rules her broken sky, stealing weapons, burying friends, and refusing to believe the occupation is permanent. Then a raid goes wrong, and the Ashen General himself drops out of the clouds to take her prisoner - not to execute her, but because the moment his hand closes over her wrist, an ancient mark ignites beneath her skin, and Kael Voss feels something he swore he'd never feel again.

Kael has commanded the Fallen host for a hundred years, burying his conscience under duty and his grief under discipline. He did not expect his newest captive to be the other half of a bond his own people hunted to extinction generations ago - a Grace-bond, prophesied to either mend the ancient rift between Heaven and Earth, or tear the last of it wide open. He did not expect to want her safe more than he wants her contained. He did not expect to fall.

Trapped inside a fortress of black stone and older grief, forced into a proximity neither of them can escape, enemy and prisoner become something far more dangerous than either intended - while a jealous court schemes for her death, and Heaven itself sends word: surrender the mark, or watch the sky burn a second time.

Now Isadora must choose between the war she was born to fight and the general who was sent to end her - and Kael must decide whether a hundred years of duty is worth less than one impossible, forbidden choice.

Crown of Ash and Wings is a complete, standalone dark fallen-angel romantasy for readers who love:

• Enemies-to-lovers with a morally gray, protective hero

• A fated, forced fallen-angel/human bond neither of them can outrun

• Forced proximity in a court thick with political intrigue and betrayal

• A fierce, capable heroine who never stops fighting for her people

• A dark, sensual slow burn (fade-to-black) with a full, satisfying ending - no cliffhanger

One captured resistance leader. One fallen general who was never supposed to want her. One bond that could end a war - or start one that ends the world.
