Tempest of Passion and Power
(2026)(The second book in the Ashwing Ascension Adventures series)
A novel by Candice Bundy and Piper Fox
Five guardians. A dying shrine. And a past that won't stay buried.
He was dying because of me.
Ryu absorbed the corruption meant for me, and now it's consuming him from the inside out. The only cure lies in the Everflame Shrine, sacred heart of the Flamebough Archipelago, and the dragons who guard it trust outsiders about as much as they trust the corruption itself. But I'm Adara Ashwing, and I don't wait for invitations.
The dragons remember Ryu. They remember his failure, his shame, the weakness threading through a warrior who should have been unbreakable. His own cousin believes the shrine's destiny belongs to someone worthier. The dragon elders see my guardians as threats. And the shrine itself is guttering, its sacred fire barely holding against the corruption spreading through its roots. Another apocalypse for the realms, but who's counting?
Taranis brings his haunted brilliance. Aeolus, whose fading magic hides behind that insufferable charm. Desmond, steady as the earth he commands. Lucas, all wolf-sharp instincts and fierce loyalty. Ryu brings everything he has left, which isn't much, and a pride that might save or shatter him. I bring fire. Together, we're either the answer the Everflame has been waiting for or the spark that burns it all down. Chaos and comfort and mine to keep, if we survive this.
But something else followed us to Flamebough. Memories I didn't summon. A presence I can't name. Whatever it is, it can get in line. Ryu comes first.
Victory has a price. So does love. And the shadows are patient.
So am I.
Tempest of Passion and Power is a scorching, action-packed romantasy featuring a fierce phoenix heroine, five irresistible guardians, and a volcanic world where fire purifies or destroys. A darkly enchanting romance with a heroine who takes what she wants and guardians who will burn the world to protect her. For fans of fiery passion, forbidden alliances, and romances that leave marks.
