A Storm of Fire and Ash - Paperback

Step into a realm where love burns bright, magic cuts deep, and shadows are never far behind.

I grew up believing I was Mage-just another girl, waiting for the gods to gift me power that never came. In Irongate, that belief kept me alive. In a realm where Fae, Mages and other beings are hated and magic is feared, being normal was safer than the truth.But it was all a lie.The day my magic finally awakened, everything changed. The life I knew crumbled beneath me, and I was thrust into a world of royal secrets, dangerous loyalties, and power I barely understood. The prince offered safety. His Fae guard offered challenge. I wasn't sure I trusted either of them.What I did know was that something ancient stirred inside me-something powerful-and angry.I didn't know what I was, or why the magic felt like it had been waiting for me. But I could feel the weight of it, humming beneath my skin, begging to be unleashed.And deep down, I knew the truth: If I ever discovered who I truly was... the world would burn for it.
