Ashes of the Sacred

About the book

Magic always has a price. His was his soul. Hers will be her blood. Seraphina Valen is the last heir to a condemned bloodline. A prisoner of the Vaelgard Inquisition, her only value lies in her ability to translate the ancient runes of the First Age. But when a brutal coup sentences her to death, she is forced to forge a desperate alliance with the very monster ordered to execute her. Kaelen Cross is the High Executioner. Scarred, feared, and lethal. For fifteen years, he has been the blind blade of the Church, enslaved by a necrotic parasite that forces his obedience. Until the night Seraphina offers him the one thing he has never had: a choice.
