Ashes to Her Crown

Medical prodigy Nora Hale is imprisoned by her husband, robbed of her Phoenix Fire, and sent to a crematorium. Adrian Knox gives up half his life to save her, but they die together. Reborn 28 hours before her murder, Nora fakes her death and returns at the Ash Crown coronation to reclaim her power, empire, and name. With Adrian beside her, she exposes the Mercer and Vale families hunting them, breaks their doomed fate, and turns the place of her death into a center for healing.
