by Tessa Hale
Leighton’s journey reaches its pulse-pounding conclusion in this high-stakes final installment of the Supernaturals of Castle Academy trilogy. After being violently snatched away from the life she fought so hard to build, Leighton finds herself isolated and staring down a betrayal that cuts deeper than any blade. To survive, she must tap into the raw, burgeoning power of her soul bond with her fated mates—the wolf, the caster, the demon, and the dragons who anchor her to the world.
This paranormal romance masterfully blends the intoxicating pull of fated mates with the intensity of an epic supernatural war. As the bond between the group deepens, so does their collective strength, a necessity as they face an encroaching, manufactured army of darkness. Tessa Hale excels at crafting a found family dynamic that feels earned and deeply intimate, ensuring readers are as invested in the characters' emotional healing as they are in the explosive action sequences.
If you are craving a fast-paced fantasy brimming with angst, lethal threats, and swoon-worthy heroes, Destiny of Ashes is the ultimate payoff. Prepare for a gripping finale that balances heart-wrenching tension with the undeniable heat of a group of men who are truly worth dying for.

I'm going to miss Leighton and her guys. Their personalities were a huge reason I loved this series. I got to know each character and they all had traits that made them the perfect book bf. This story was full of nonstop action and entertainment. There were some sexy parts but not much And to be honest, there didn't need to be. The story itself was great... I can't wait to read more about Cillian, he had me interested from the moment he arrived. The perfect HEA to end this roller-coaster of a...

Leighton’s story comes to an end in this book, as she and her group of mates finally get to face the ones who have been threatening them.

It’s an enjoyable read, with a few steamy scenes, and a number of twists and turns to keep you interested. Ultimately it’s an engaging story for the RH...

i really love Tessa Hale. but in this book, it seemed like the FMC was passing out every other chapter. Seriously. she must have fainted at least eight times. this became funny and pulled me out of the story. it was also frustrating that she kept running away on her own, even after knowing the huge risk. once, i get it, we all do dumb things, but like four times?? be smarter! )

I loved this series. The only thing was I had hoped for was Leighton did not think at times. She caused some of her issues because she didn’t think throughly. I loved how we got to see more of the guys thoughts. I loved the additional characters that came out in this one as well. The ending little bit lacking only because I felt we kind of rushed a bit. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the outcome but just felt that with all the lead up to the end it just needed a bit more. However, the story is...
