Frozen Ashes

Are you afraid to be normal? Are you terrified of being forgotten? What are you looking for? Is there meaning in life? To be normal is terrifying. To be forgotten is terrifying. Doing good in this world is difficult, but being evil is easy. How long can you take this? How long can you wait for things to change? No more. No more. No more.

Desperately searching for a kindred spirit, an evil force, filled with a terrifying hunger that leaves its victims burned to ashes, arrives in a small Pennsylvania town, plagued by its own dark history, where it has discovered what it has been yearning for over the centuries.

Magic is the key... but will it save them, or consume them? To be discovered with magical potential is to be feared. The gifted few dread their future, for while a life of ease awaits those who succeed, failure leads to a much darker destiny. For Natalia, whose magical abilities revealed themselves at an early age, there is no choice. Torn from her mother's arms, she was borne away to the Volstrum, an institution steeped in mystery. There, trained as a battle mage, she has the potential to be one of the most powerful spellcasters ever. Yet the price they demand of her is too high! Athgar's life was shattered the day his magical potential was released by the very fire that nearly consumed him. Even while the Orcs taught him to master his new talents, he could not forget those who were savagely ripped away. Blindly driven by revenge, it's not until he meets Natalia and nearly dies again that he realizes something much more sinister is unfolding. Now, she is on the run from her family while he desperately hunts for his! Together, they embark on a voyage to unearth a dark conspiracy that has remained secret for years.

The slow burn romance officially heats up more in this latest installment of Lost Legacies by romantasy author Maddox Grey. Fulfill the blood debt. Rescue the princess. Easy. Slight problem. The princess lives in a realm full of extremely angry dragons. Oh, and the princess... she’s also a dragon. But it’s fine. I’ve never been the type to back down from a challenge. Even if there wasn’t a blood debt between us, Eddie’s my friend and he needs my help to rescue his love. I don’t need a better reason than that to go on this insane mission. Plus, fighting a dragon sounds like my kind of fun. But what started out as a straight-forward rescue plan has become so much more. The exiled fae king is plotting, and I need to figure out what, because it’s not just our lives at risk. All the realms will fall if he gets his way. Rescue the dragon princess. Uncover the evil fae king’s plot. And keep the dangerous and clever-tongued Mikhail at arm’s length. I can surely do at least two of these things... A Shift in Ashes is the fourth story of the Lost Legacies fantasy romance series. For fans of LJ Andrews, Raven Kennedy, or Amber V. Nicole, this action-packed romantic fantasy is going to get a little spicy. Enjoy!
