The gutting conclusion to the Nightborn Duet, The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King picks up in the devastating aftermath of the Kejari tournament. Oraya is now a prisoner in her own kingdom, grieving the only father she ever knew and reeling from a betrayal that shattered everything she believed. The one person she cannot trust is Raihn — the vampire who broke her heart and now wears the crown. But with the House of Blood tightening its grip on the kingdom from within, an unlikely secret alliance between Oraya and Raihn may be their only chance at survival. Full of heartbreak, redemption, and heart-pounding action, this installment is darker, messier, and even more emotionally devastating than the first.
