Crown of Ash and Vows

In a world where power is granted by the divine, Kael Valeris—heir to the strongest martial house—is born without aura and cast aside as a failure. Lyra Drenhal, a gifted noble bound for a political marriage, lives trapped by the very power that makes her valuable. When fate brings them together, their bond ignites something far more dangerous than love—a rebellion against the system that controls them. As hidden forces move in the shadows to keep them in their place, Kael begins walking a forbidden path to claim strength on his own terms. To choose each other is to defy destiny itself… and risk bringing the entire world down with them.
