Ash & Ember

In a city where neon lights flicker over ancient runes and blood is traded like currency, Kaia Vale has learned one rule hide what burns inside you. Half-Fae, half-human, she survives on the fringes of New Arcana, stealing relics and silence in equal measure. But when a botched job awakens the fire sleeping in her veins, Kaia discovers the truth she was never meant to know: A dragon’s soul lives inside her one that once set empires ablaze. Now the Obsidian Order wants her power. The Ember Cult wants her crown. And the voice in her head ancient, arrogant, and all too alive wants freedom. As magic riots tear through the city and old gods begin to stir beneath the streets, Kaia must master the inferno within before it consumes her… or watch the world burn from the ashes of her own making. Because in New Arcana, every flame demands a sacrifice.
