Ashes to Crown

After a devastating tragedy, Raven Callahan, the only daughter of the late clan leader, is handed over to her family’s sworn enemy, Cassian Devereux, as payment for a blood debt. To everyone else, she’s nothing more than a helpless pawn. But Raven is hiding a dangerous secret: her father left her a trove of intelligence—and a black ledger that could bring powerful families to their knees. Sent into Cassian’s territory under constant surveillance, Raven plays the obedient captive while secretly hunting for the truth behind her father’s death. Every insult is calculated. Every betrayal brings her closer to the conspiracy buried beneath generations of bloodshed. But the deeper Raven digs, the more she realizes the enemy may not be who she thought he was. As deadly schemes close in, her fragile alliance with Cassian turns into something neither of them can control. From bitter enemies to unlikely partners, they are forced to fight side by side for survival. Now Raven must choose: remain the sacrifice her family created—or burn their entire underground empire to the ground. Because the woman they thought they could control is about to become the queen of their world.
