Synopsis

She cannot die. He cannot feel. Together, they may save a kingdom - or burn it to the ground. Seraphine Ashveil has survived three executions. Not through luck. Through fire - an ancient power that runs through her blood, a gift the kingdom fears and a secret she has carried alone her entire life. When Kael Voss, the King's most dangerous operative, offers her freedom in exchange for one impossible task - retrieving a crown lost for three hundred years from a temple no one has ever survived - Seraphine must choose between the axe and the unknown. She chooses the fire. Set in a crumbling kingdom of ash and ancient magic, THE EMBER CROWN follows one woman's journey from condemned prisoner to the last guardian of a dying flame-pact, and the cold, careful man who spent three years searching for her - for reasons he has not yet admitted, even to himself. A slow-burn romantasy novella featuring: - A fierce, fire-blooded heroine who has never learned to be afraid - A brooding, secretive hero who keeps very thorough notes - Ancient magic and a kingdom fracturing at its seams - Enemies-to-lovers tension across dead forests and midnight libraries - A found-purpose story with a heart of ember and iron Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Holly Black, and Roshani Chokshi. Book One of The Ashen Kingdoms. The story continues.

À propos de l'auteur

Abdullah Al-Baghdadi is an Egyptian novelist and storyteller, born in Cairo in the early 1990s. He grew up steeped in the golden age of Arabic literature - shaped by the poetry of Ahmad Shawqi, the sharp intellect of Abbas Al-Aqqad, and the timeless prose of Naguib Mahfouz.

Yet perhaps the closest literary thread runs through his own blood: the celebrated Egyptian poet Dr. Farouk Shousha - a relative whose love of language and the Arabic word left an indelible mark on Abdullah's voice as a writer.

He writes from Cairo, carrying the weight of a rich literary inheritance - and the quiet ambition to add his own chapter to it.
