Preorder Alert: A Serpent in the Embers Is Coming — And It’s Devastatingly Dark 🔥
If you’ve been craving a romantasy dripping with shadow-kissed danger, morally grey characters, and that gut-clenching fated connection you can’t escape, then I have news that will set your TBR on fire.
My newest dark fae romantasy standalone, A Serpent in the Embers, is officially available for preorder—and this one might be my most ruthless, heart-wrecking book yet.
This is a story about choices with blood on them. About devotion sharpened into a weapon. About a heroine who has never hesitated to kill…until the one man she’s sworn to destroy becomes the only soul she can’t bring herself to lose.
💀 What A Serpent in the Embers Is About
I’ve never refused a kill. Not for mercy, not for guilt. But the Queen of the Stygian Darkness has given me an impossible task: kill the second-in-command of the Shadow Court, and she will free my sister’s wasted soul from her dungeon. A life for a life. A simple transaction.
Except nothing about him is simple. Stone is a warrior carved from rock and shadow, a creature of brutal power who sees too much. Every moment I spend hunting him, the vow in my blood screams for his death while some forgotten part of my soul screams louder for his life. In the darkness, there are no good choices, only survival.
A Serpent in the Embers is the heart-wrenching first book in a dark fae romantasy series. If you like fated mates, tragic romance, and morally grey heroines, you’ll love this gutting read.
Open the cover and see what destiny has in store.
