CINDER THRONE

(Book 2 of The Ashen Crown Saga)

Power demands a price. Dragons always collect.

The Empire learned to rule without dragons.

Now the world must learn to live with the consequences.

After freeing the skies from imperial control, Elara Veyne faces a new enemy-one colder, quieter, and far more dangerous than fire. Machines replace dragons. Obedience replaces fear. And control no longer needs chains.

As cities fall without burning and truth is rewritten in real time, Elara is forced into an impossible position:

become a symbol she never wanted-or disappear and let order harden into tyranny.

When the Empire strikes at her past, her allies, and the very bond that defines her, Elara must decide what power truly means... and whether freedom can survive without someone willing to pay its cost.

Dark, political, and emotionally uncompromising, CINDER THRONE is the explosive second book in The Ashen Crown Saga-a dragon fantasy series where victory isn't claimed, but released.

Fans of Fourth Wing seeking deeper, darker themes
