About this book

Born into a life of suffocating privilege, she has always been a pawn in a game played by others. Her existence is a gilded cage where every move is scripted and every future is preordained. That is, until Jaxon Knox and his brothers, Kaios and Nyx, crash into her reality like a wrecking ball. They aren't just outsiders; they are dangerous, seductive forces who threaten to burn her carefully curated world to the ground.

This gripping paranormal romance pulls you into a dark, high-stakes academy setting where the boundaries between safety and sin vanish. As the Knox brothers close in, the protagonist discovers that her life was built on a foundation of lies. She is forced to choose between the safety of her past and a reckless, primal surrender to the shadows. With every interaction, the line between captor and savior blurs, leaving her questioning everything she thought she knew about her own legacy.

Perfect for fans of addictive, twist-filled narratives, this story is a masterclass in tension and temptation. It is a wild, unpredictable ride that will leave you breathless, desperate for answers, and begging for more. Prepare to be consumed by the fire.

The way that Aria’s words have the ability to make me feel every single emotion while reading. It’s magical and I love when that happens. Ashes, Ashes was a ride and I am SAT for what’s to come. That cliffhanger? WHEW. The whole time I was...
