For five hundred years, the truth has been buried.
Elara Rowan has spent her life healing others, never knowing why the River Thorne seems to recognize her—or why silver moves beneath its waters like something alive.
When a rare Blood Moon approaches, Elara and Crown soldier Kael Draven are drawn into a mystery that could expose a lie the kingdom has protected for centuries.
And as trust grows between them, they discover that some truths cannot remain buried forever.
Water cannot be stopped. Only redirected.
The Ash and the Rose — a romantic fantasy of ancient magic, buried history, political intrigue, and slow-burning romance.
Why I Write
I began writing hoping to create a better future for my family.
Somewhere along the way, something changed.
I stopped thinking only about where this story might take me—and started thinking about where it might take the reader.
I want to write stories that leave something behind.
