Gold Winner — Literary Titan Book Awards (2025)

The world called her a miracle.
The Tribunal called her a mistake.
Now both will learn what it means when a chain fights back.

Freya Thorne rose from execution to legend—bound to an ancient power that remembers every oath ever broken.
In the ruins of Ashmere, she’s rebuilding what the empire tried to erase: freedom, faith, and a future her people can survive.
But as Kier Stromyr’s suppression force spreads across the coasts, every bond is silenced, every rebel branded unclean, and the Chains themselves begin to stir.

To save the lost children hidden in the mountains—and the boy captured to protect them—Freya must master the darkness she defied.
Because the power that saved her once is remembering its true purpose.
And mercy was never part of it.

Book II of The Ashen Chain Saga — for fans of Fourth Wing, The Poppy War, and Divine Rivals
Enemies-to-lovers × rebellion × magic that bleeds through memory
Slow burn. High stakes. No saviors.

She survived her execution.
Now she’ll decide who survives her mercy.
