The Ashbound Throne

In Vehrren, even the dead owe a debt-and the living pay for it in memories, years, and pieces of their souls.

Iyra Vale knows the cost. As one of the Crown's most ruthless Reckoners, she has spent her life collecting what others cannot afford to lose. Now she wants freedom. Instead, the Crown sends her to collect a two-hundred-year-old debt from Kael Ashbourne, the Shadow King sealed inside the forbidden Ashen Court.

The assignment should kill her. Instead, it binds them together.

Linked by a magic neither can escape, Iyra and Kael must uncover the truth behind their connection and the ancient contract that rules their kingdom. But the memories returning to Iyra belong to another lifetime-and they threaten everything she believes about the man beside her and herself.

As distrust gives way to a dangerous intimacy, freedom demands more than breaking a bond. It means confronting what they once created, what the Crown has kept hidden, and how much they are willing to sacrifice to change it.

The Ashbound Throne is a dark romantic fantasy about stolen memories, inherited cruelty, and a love whose cost reaches across lifetimes.
