Synopsis "Kingdoms of Shadow and Ash"
Queen Fyia may have conquered the Five Kingdoms, but without dragons, she can never build the world her people deserve. Fyia defied the odds when she won the Five Kingdoms, but to make her daring changes stick, she needs dragons, and the dragon eggs are missing. But she faces savage threats from both within her new kingdoms and from the abhorrent Emperor across the Kraken Sea. He plans to saddle her as his trophy wife ... or take her lands by force. Nowhere else to turn, Fyia brazenly travels north, seeking an accord with the startlingly attractive King of the Black Hoods. Fyia sees the secrets swirling behind his smoldering gaze, but when he stubbornly refuses her request, she can't discern the game he plays, because dragons would save his people and her own. As Fyia lures the King into her ambitious quest and works to unravel his mysteries and his magic, their journey becomes perilous, the Emperor turning his sights north and entwining them in a deadly plot that threatens to strip away everything Fyia's worked so hard for. The King proposes an audacious solution, one he sees as obvious, but for Fyia, it means risking the one thing she swore she never would. Her heart. Action-packed from the start with twists and dangerous intrigue, Kingdoms of Shadow and Ash is book one in this complete, spicy romantasy duology featuring magic, strong women, and dragons. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L Armentrout and Danielle L Jensen.
