Embers of Fate

What if your fate lies hidden within the secrets of the past?
Gwen Thorncrest, heir to the throne of Tavia, has always known her fate. But as her father's health fades, she's thrust into a role she fears she may not be ready for. Amidst her grief, Gwen must navigate danger, betrayal, and political scheming as she claims the throne that is rightfully hers. To fulfill her destiny, she must journey across Tavia to the Misty Mountains, where she must conquer her doubts and safeguard an ancient secret she is blood sworn to protect.
Tyreal Blackbane, a commoner sworn to protect Gwen since childhood, harbors a secret of his own—a forbidden love for his future queen. As new threats emerge from those who view a woman's ascension to the throne as a threat, Tyreal must confront his own destiny. His unwavering loyalty and hidden feelings put him on a collision course with his heart and duty.
Together, they must face an ever evolving and intertwining fate as she inherits a kingdom, and he inherits something he never expected. Can they protect the people of Tavia and each other—while concealing their deepest secrets?
