Blurb:
Eighteen-year-old princess, Valeria Breault, is sure of three things.
One, she was exiled from Empyrean because her father didn’t want the hassle of raising her. Two, her perfect realm would be better off without a mortal-raised smart-ass with a foul mouth and penchant for trouble. And three, neither of those things matters when a horde of demons crashes prom.
Forced to fight for her life, Valeria narrowly escapes being captured by the Realm of the Forsaken, only to be dragged back to Empyrean before she is meant to return. Instead of the beautiful utopia from her bedtime stories, Val finds herself thrown into a hellish nightmare where the poor are dying, the rich are thriving, and her claim to the throne is in jeopardy. But not if Valeria can help it.
The overwhelming desire to belong and a craving for power have her making choices that make it harder and harder to guard her heart against the man who’s bound to protect her, the god she’s vowed to hate, and the darkness that’s growing inside her. Only time will tell if the secrets she unravels and the alliances she makes will lead to the throne or the pyre.
*
A Realm of Ash and Shadow combines the epic fantasy and character-driven stakes of Throne of Glass with the romantic tension and love triangle drama of Lightlark, delivering a new adult romantasy filled with soulmates, morally gray love interests, forbidden desire, and steamy tension. Expect “who will she choose” angst, a powerful heroine, and a romance that simmers beneath a world of magic, danger, and irresistible twists.

The gods are coming.
Everything Valeria believes has been a lie:
The source of her power.
Her heritage.
Even the secrets she keeps guarded in her heart.
After beheading Empyrean’s king to take up her birthright as the Queen of Empyrean and having her godly gifts unlocked through a needless sacrifice, she has spent the last year restoring her realm. She has done it all while coming to terms with her newfound identity as a demigoddess, proving that she is someone her people can trust, and surviving the tragic loss of her childhood best friend.
But with a dangerous cult of loyalists terrorizing Empyrean, a mysterious invitation from the Realm of the Divine, and undeniable sizzling tension between her and the two men vying for her heart, the peace Valeria’s worked tirelessly to broker may never come to fruition.
To save Empyrean—and herself—Valeria must navigate deadly realm politics, distrusting gods, and her own dangerous desires in this spellbinding, seductive sequel to A Realm of Ash and Shadow.
