Betrayal. Obsession. A kingdom on the brink.
Seraphina is the last light of a dying realm, a noblewoman bound by blood and duty to a kingdom that has already failed her. When war threatens to consume Eldoria, she's faced with an impossible choice: marry the ruthless Lord Alaric to save her people, or follow the dark pull of her heart straight into the arms of the enemy king.
But Kael of Morvath is no ordinary man. He's fire wrapped in steel, a warrior haunted by his own demons. Their forbidden love ignites a war between kingdoms, and within Seraphina herself.
As secrets unravel and loyalties shatter, Seraphina must decide: sacrifice everything she is to fulfill a fate she never asked for, or burn it all down to rewrite the stars.
A dark fantasy romance drenched in tragedy, betrayal, and slow-burn obsession, Under Moonlit Ashes will leave you breathless and broken, long after the final page.
