Silver & Smoke

Alchemist. Poisoner. Reluctant Queen.

Wren Embervale’s destiny demands a crown—even if it means a strategic betrothal to the influential Lord Darian Devereux. Their arranged marriage promises the formidable army she needs to reclaim her kingdom from the tyrannical usurper, Silas. Yet her heart still belongs to Torj Elderbrock, her soul-bonded Warsword.

Torn between duty and desire, Wren must navigate a deadly web of courtly intrigue, shadow alchemy, and looming war. As Silas’s dark magic tightens its grip on the midrealms and a creeping poison steals Torj’s strength, Wren’s carefully constructed façade begins to crumble.

Can she play the dutiful fiancée to secure her throne, while her body and soul yearn for the warrior who would lay down his life for her? Or will the tangled threads of political necessity leave both her kingdom—and her heart—in ashes?

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Iron & Embers, Silver & Smoke is the blistering, action-packed finale to the Ashes of Thezmarr series, perfect for fans of epic fantasy, dark romance, and high-stakes magic.
