The Consulate (The Orphium Maere Book 1)

Ember Verona is an immortal warrior whose existence is currently defined by wreckage. Her sisterhood has fractured, her powers are fading, and her past is literally ashes thanks to Ares Necroline, the dangerous leader of the necromancers. But when Ares reveals the location of five legendary swords—the source of the Orphium guardians' parapsych abilities—Ember faces an impossible ultimatum. To reclaim her legacy and save her kin, she must partner with the very man who destroyed her life.

This sizzling modern romantasy plunges readers into a high-stakes heist set against the backdrop of three warring underworld dynasties. As Ember and Ares infiltrate the National Gallery’s elite annual Gala, the tension between them burns as hot as their shared history. It is a world of ghosts, ancient magic, and shifting loyalties where the line between enemy and lover is dangerously blurred.

If you crave paranormal romance fueled by witty banter, intense psychic battles, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers dynamic, this is your next obsession. Allison Carr Waechter delivers a gripping tale of redemption and power that proves some bonds are too strong to stay broken. Dive into the Orphium Maere and discover an underworld where everything—including your heart—is on the line.
