the ashes of eyrondale series
book one
When Katherine wakes in a castle, her name is the first thing she hears. It is not something she remembers.
No past. No people. No reason why eight mortals have been brought to Eyrondale Castle, or why they look at her as though they have already lost her once.
A prophecy long bound to her bloodline is beginning to stir. The Five Trials of Fate are about to begin, and when a mortal is chosen in place of one of the sons of Magic, the course of destiny begins to shift.
In this first instalment of The Ashes of Eyrondale series, Katherine must relive her history with each of the champions bound to the life she has forgotten. The first trial, known as the Memory Kiss, returns her memories in fragments. Some are tender. Others are filled with betrayal. All are part of a power she must reclaim before the next trial begins.
The Awakening of a Princess is a slow-burn romantasy that weaves magic realism with paranormal intrigue. Told through multiple points of view, it favours longing over resolution, emotional stakes over physical intimacy, and questions that will only be answered as the series unfolds.
