Featured Book
THE ASH AND THE ROSE
Book One
Some truths are buried for a reason. Others are simply waiting for someone brave enough to remember them.
Then:
For five hundred years, the kingdom of Argentia has guarded a single truth: the mysterious river beyond Briar Hollow must never be approached when the Blood Moon rises.
No one remembers why.
Only that those who question the past rarely return unchanged.
Elara has never considered herself extraordinary. Raised in the quiet warmth of Briar Hollow, she has spent her life helping others, believing that kindness is simply what people owe one another.
But when an impossible night forces her onto a path she never expected, Elara finds herself caught between an aging king burdened by secrets, a loyal soldier whose faith in duty is beginning to fracture, and a history that refuses to remain buried.
Then I’d stop.

Every generation inherits unfinished choices.
As ancient memories begin to surface and long-forgotten choices echo into the present, Elara discovers that the greatest battles are not always fought with swords.
Sometimes they are fought with compassion.
With truth.
And with the courage to choose a different future than the one we inherit.
What will we pass on?
Mystery
A kingdom built upon a history that doesn’t quite add up.
Slow-Burn Romance

“The moon shares what the sun already knows.”
— Elara
