About this book
Sylvie has spent her life in her sister Adria’s shadow, but she is ready to step into the light by fulfilling a lethal promise: assassinating God-King Ronan, the man responsible for her father's death. As the Great Festival approaches, the sisters execute their plan to infiltrate the palace and bring down the monarch who shattered their family. However, the mission becomes dangerously complicated once Sylvie finds herself face-to-face with the man she intends to kill. Ronan is not the monster she expected; he is a ruler burdened by the heavy toll of war, struggling to maintain his magic and his sanity while keeping his kingdom from the brink of collapse. As Sylvie grows closer to him, she finds her loyalties fracturing. What begins as a cold-blooded assassination plot transforms into a high-stakes game of forbidden desire. Caught in a classic enemies-to-lovers struggle, Sylvie must decide whether to honor her sister’s vengeance or follow her heart. With Adria waiting in the wings to ensure the job gets done, every moment Sylvie spends with Ronan brings them both closer to ruin. In this world of alchemy and ash, trust is the most dangerous weapon of all.

Image 136: She&39;ll be the death of him. One way or another. Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars Next big fantasy romance series From the first page, this fantasy romance starts off with the most intriguing revenge plot, full of action and court politics. I was fully hooked, emotionally invested and desperately hanging on the edge of every chapter. While this is a slow burn, enemies to lovers dynamic, it’s definitely more one-sided, with the mmc falling first, hard and fast. The kind of devotion where he would light up the world to keep her safe. The yearning and chemistry simmers between all the banter and sharp words from the fmc. She starts the story with an impossible mission and choice, and watching her navigate that emotional and moral weight adds so much depth and intrigue to the storyline. I love how Amy Yorke crafted a unique elemental magic system, especially the way the fmc and mmc’s powers are intertwined. I am hoping that book 2 dives even deeper into that connection. The plot moves along with purpose and at a perfect pace. There is sibling rivalry, betrayal, court intrigue, revenge, and action packed twists. I flew through this book and genuinely did not want to put it down…and when I hit the final page, I was sad that it was over. I have no doubt this will be the next big fantasy romance series.

Jensen, Carissa Broadbent, and Sarah J. Maas, Alchemy & Ashes is a high-stakes, enemies-to-lovers romantasy where two sisters’ plan to assassinate the king who killed their father goes awry when one of them falls in love with him. The daughter of a failed rebellion. The king who killed her father. A love that could tear the kingdom apart. Sylvie has always lived in her sister Adria’s shadow. But at the Great Festival, she finally has her chance to step into the light: by striking down God-King Ronan, the man who destroyed her family. Adria may have led the rebellion, but Sylvie will be the one to finish it. Ronan has spent years rebuilding a kingdom broken by the war that claimed his father and shattered his faith. But peace has come at a price. Surrounded by enemies and burdened by secrets too dangerous to reveal, he’s losing control: of his court, his magic, and maybe even himself. The closer Sylvie gets to Ronan, the more she’s drawn to the man she vowed to kill. Wanting him would mean betraying not just her sister, but her people and the memory of her parents. Trusting Sylvie could cost Ronan the throne—or his life. Because even if Sylvie refuses to strike, Adria won’t hesitate to finish the job. The road to the throne runs through his heart. And only one sister will claim it. Alchemy & Ashes is the first book in the Shadowbound Duet. ) Report an issue with this product or seller](https://www.amazon.com/Alchemy-Ashes-Fantasy-Romance-Shadowbound/dp/B0FX1FK9NS/ref=sr1819?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HZ-fLRH6ILz54W1K4jcEpPsV3JTvtiLnqCZVzX9RKPVRWWNMKghw6iEE-MQcI0guCDRHXSBBqXbzeHmTp8cFUJ5VbcjFkaQn1AhLpV0sPJ78ux77WPuQ50q1NJl-SFNUJjxO150LqYMoHVYxRbOkiNfE3JD54ivwCn1rkzSAnLcQeTtd8nWwatIHH-NHh10eQELPn5mgcV4teCJAmeLioB7ZhRMe3576rZ8zUsJIM.fceVeLJDL729B4Nv-gIkpqTrr7dZG7TPKd2jv0mh8Q&dibtag=se&qid=1780246683&s=books&xpid=BtZXy3REumMg) Previous slide of product details 1.
