The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King

£9.49

In the aftermath of the Kejari, Oraya’s world has been reduced to ashes. Trapped within her own palace, grieving the loss of the only family she ever knew, and reeling from a betrayal that shattered everything she believed, she no longer knows who she can trust. Least of all Raihn.

The kingdom is fracturing. Raihn’s rule is contested by nobles who refuse to accept a turned king and former slave, while old enemies tighten their grip from within. When Raihn proposes an alliance, Oraya knows it is dangerous, yet it may be her only path to reclaiming her throne and exacting revenge. To succeed, she must turn to an ancient and powerful force tied to the darkest secrets of her father’s past.

As threats close in and truths begin to unravel, Oraya is forced to confront a reality where nothing is as it seems. Caught between the brutal demands of power and a love that could destroy her, she must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to survive.
