The Vow of Ash and Ember

He is the king no one can touch.For years, King Caelum Ashveil has lived behind walls of duty, isolation, and fire. A supernatural flame burns beneath his skin, answering fear, anger, and desire with a deadly heat. One careless touch could leave another person scarred or dead. So Caelum has learned to rule his kingdom from a careful distance, keeping everyone close enough to serve him but far enough to survive him.Then Senna Voss arrives.A sentinel from the Outer Reaches, Senna is unlike anyone Caelum has ever known. She does not fear his fire. She cannot be burned by it. When she is assigned to protect the king, the distance he has spent years maintaining becomes impossible to preserve. For the first time, Caelum can be touched. For the first time, he wants someone close. And for Senna, guarding the king becomes far more dangerous when duty begins to collide with desire.But their impossible connection comes at the worst possible time. Political tensions are rising, old enemies are watching, and the kingdom stands on the edge of a conflict that could ignite far beyond the palace walls. As Caelum and Senna are drawn deeper into a bond neither of them expected, they must decide what they are willing to risk for their kingdom, for each other, and for a love that may be the one thing powerful enough to transform the fire that has ruled Caelum's life.The Vow of Ash and Ember is a slow-burn romantic fantasy of forbidden touch, a cursed king, a fiercely loyal sentinel, political intrigue, and a love forged in the very fire meant to keep them apart.
