As the Kingdoms of Grymith and Thymesa wage a war against each other, Cinder Knights and Mage Adepts clash with spells and flame in the wake of the worst winter in centuries
Heir Of Scorch
I saved the enemy I was sworn to destroy.
And fell for him.
Left for dead after a brutal winter siege, Lesya Augustus, a Thymesan Mage Adept, expects the blizzard to finish what the war began. Instead, she finds a dying knight bleeding into the snow outside a secluded cabin.
His crimson cape bears the sigil of House Scorch, the enemy who has waged an unjust war against her people.
She should kill him. After all, in the midst of war, mercy is a mistake, and survival demands making difficult choices.
But Lesya, bound by an ancient oath, saves him.
Derleth Scorch awakens bound, wounded, and furious. He’s no ordinary soldier, but a feared Cinder Knight, forged for slaughter, bound to fire, dragons, and a crown soaked in blood. When frost and flame collide, it becomes clear they are evenly matched… and dangerously drawn to one another.
A blizzard traps them together. A fragile truce becomes forced proximity. Hatred thins into tension. Tension ignites into something ruinous.
Touching him is treason.
Wanting her is a death sentence.
As wolves, wildland bandits, and armies hunt them through the frozen wilds and the truth of Derleth’s birthright comes to light, Lesya and Derleth must choose between loyalty and desire, crown and conscience. Because in a world ruled by war and magic, loving the enemy may cost them everything or remake the fate of kingdoms forever.
Heir of Scorch is a dark romantasy novella featuring enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, forbidden romance, an alpha torn between his duties and his dragon, lethal magic, and a love born in fire and frost.
