When Ashes Fall

Knox

The tribunal stands at the gate of Wildwood, and Marina is demanding her daughter’s return. I stole Briar to break the curse caging the shifter kingdom, and I’m not ready to give her back… even if it starts a war.

Briar

I feared the tribunal’s arrival was the greatest threat to Wildwood, but I was wrong. The power growing inside me is an ominous force with a will of its own.

Every truth I uncover twists into something more dangerous, until the answers I chase lead me to a disturbing discovery.

When death comes to Wildwood, I can’t tell if our enemies unleashed it… or I did.

Inspired by Beauty and the Beast, enter a romantasy where ancient magic, shapeshifters, and dragons dwell beneath the briars. Dark secrets fuel a forbidden romance turning enemies to lovers with second chances that ignite dangerous desires.
