About this listen

In a world of glittering cruelty, a half-blood thief holds the key to salvation—or destruction.

Lyra, a scrappy half-human, half-fae outcast, claws her way from the slums after killing a fae noble in self-defense, awakening a wild, untamed power. Dragged into the treacherous Ember Courts, she’s forced into an alliance with Prince Torin, the ruthless heir of the Iron Court. Their sharp-edged banter and undeniable chemistry mask a deeper tension as they navigate a world of masquerades, assassinations, and glittering deceit.

But beneath the courts’ fragile truce, a conspiracy brews—one that could reignite the ancient Court Wars. Lyra’s power might be the spark that tips the balance, but Torin’s shadowed past could destroy them both. As betrayals mount and war looms, their reluctant alliance ignites into a passionate, conflicted love, bound by secrets and forged in danger.

In a realm where loyalty is a blade and trust a gamble, Lyra must decide: unite the courts under her rule or burn them all to ash.

Ash and Iron is a dark fantasy romance brimming with political intrigue, forbidden love, and heart-pounding action—a tale of a scrappy heroine and a dangerous prince clashing in a world on the edge of ruin.

This story delivers everything a fantasy-romance lover craves, razor-sharp political tension, a fierce heroine discovering her power, and a brooding prince whose every secret cuts deeper than steel. The chemistry crackles, the betrayals sting, and the worldbuilding shines with wicked glamor and looming war. It’s a thrilling ride where every alliance feels like a risk and every kiss feels like a rebellion.
A must-listen for fans of morally gray love and courtly chaos.

This was such an amazing listen! The mix of dark fantasy, political intrigue, and forbidden romance had me hooked from the start. Lyra is such a strong, complex heroine because she is half human, half fae, trying to survive in a brutal world that wants her broken. Lyra’s strength and determination really stood out, and her chemistry with Torin made every scene come alive. The narrator did an incredible job capturing the tension and emotion. I really enjoyed it and I am looking forward to the next book.

The story centers on Lyra, a fierce, half-human, half-fae outcast who has clawed her way up from the slums. After a bloody act of self-defense against a fae noble, she awakens a terrifying, untamed power and is thrust from the shadows into the blinding light of the treacherous Ember Courts. Lyra is everything the Courts fear and despise—a scrappy survivor whose very existence threatens the established order.
It's an exciting story with high stakes.
