THE ASHENREACH TRILOGY
Book I: The Scavenger’s Secret
They told her she was ash. They forgot that ash is the memory of a fire.
In the smoke-choked slums of the Gutterreach, Nyrelle Vexley is a ghost. A thief known as the "Ash-Cat," she survives on the scraps of a kingdom that treats her kind as fodder. In Cindralor, dragons are the divine right of the high-born, and the bond is a leash held by the elite.
But when a desperate theft of a forbidden Aether-glass shard goes wrong, Nyrelle is forced to flee through the iron gates of Vyrgarde Hold—the legendary training ground where the lucky few become riders, and the rest become corpses.
She expected to be a soldier. She didn't expect the mountain to speak back.
As a stolen power begins to fuse with her blood, an ancient, forgotten dragon stirs in the roots of the earth. He does not call her a thief. He calls her Last Ember.
Bound to a beast believed extinct and hunted by a nobility that fears her existence, Nyrelle must navigate a labyrinth of lethal trials and royal lies. She isn't just a scavenger anymore. She is a heresy in human form, and she is about to show the world what happens when you try to bury a queen in the dirt.
