Ember is a queen, a prisoner, and a weapon.
Forced into a brutal marriage with the ruthless sorcerer king, Ash, she endures a gilded cage where every breath is a fight for survival. He stole her freedom, murdered her allies, and now demands she bear a child destined to pay his ancient, magical debts. But Ember, a water fairy who refuses to be dainty, has learned to wield her defiance like a sword.
Haunted by the ghosts of those she’s lost and fueled by a burning need for vengeance, Ember’s only hope lies in escape. With her loyal companion, Beau, by her side and a hidden strength she never knew she possessed, she must navigate a treacherous world where fairy tales are twisted, and every ally is a risk.
Ash stole her freedom, but Ember is coming for his crown. In a realm where fairy tales are forged in blood, Ember must ignite a rebellion that will either shatter Ash’s sorcery or consume her in the flames.
Ember’s Army is the high-stakes second installment in the Dousing Flames series. Perfect for readers who crave dark fantasy, forced proximity, and a fierce heroine’s journey of vengeance.
