CROWNED IN ASH

In a world where power defines your future and failure means death, Aeris Thalorian was never meant to survive. Overshadowed by her prodigy twin sister and ridiculed for her wild, uncontrollable magic, Aeris has only ever wanted to be left alone. But when she’s forced to take part in the deadly Trials to enter Aetherian Academy.. an academy that forges elite magical knights, she somehow passes. Barely. Thrown into a world of powerful rivals, ruthless training, and ancient secrets, Aeris is determined to stay unnoticed. Until a monstrous attack on the Academy awakens something inside her, something dangerous, rare, and impossible to explain. Now, all eyes are on her. Especially Kael Thorne, the Academy’s cold and commanding Grand Sovereign, who sees in Aeris a power that could either save their world… or destroy it. As he begins to train her himself, their fates become dangerously intertwined. As darkness creeps closer and grotesque creatures begin to rise, Aeris must uncover what lies within her magic before it’s too late. But power always comes with a price. And some destinies are written in fire.
