A human slave. A fae prince. And a series of deadly trials.
Four years ago, Stella was resurrected by a necromancer. Now, she feels nothing, her heart is cold, and she has the power to kill with a single touch—a useful skill for an indentured assassin.
When her master offers her freedom in exchange for killing the Prince of the Fire Court, Stella jumps at the opportunity. But Prince Ronan is heavily guarded. To get close to him, Stella’s only option is to pose as a fae courtier and enter the Fire Trials to become his bride.
But the competition is far deadlier than she ever imagined.
Each trial is meant to weed out the weak so only the strongest of fae will rise to the top. And Stella, who is a human, must work twice as hard to win—and to stay alive.
In between brutal trials, Stella must attend lavish masquerade balls—while struggling to convince everyone she's a formidable fae courtier—and somehow avoid the scornful dragon who was sent by her master to spy on her every move.
As the Trials and her relationship with Prince Ronan advance, she discovers that his powerful magic heals the darkness festering inside her. He could be the key to awakening her soul—and if she fulfills her assignment by killing him, she loses her one chance to truly feel alive again.
To lose the man she'''s grown to love would destroy her. But if she fails her mission, her master will put her to death.
Assuming the Fire Trials don't kill her first.
Crown of Ashes is a romantasy Cinderella retelling with dragons and fae, enemies to lovers, opposites attract, deadly trials, and slow burn spice.
This fairytale retelling is part of the Crowns of the Fae series, which can be read in any order as stand-alone novels.
Genre: Fantasy
