Ashes Before the Storm

I'm Adara Ashwing, and being the Elemental Phoenix means my life revolves around cleaning up magical catastrophes before they shred reality apart. Usually, immortals manage their messes without dragging me in-but not the Crimson Veil Coven. These reckless vampire nobles have torn open a rift that's devouring magic itself, threatening all immortals-and maybe more.

Entering their twisted gothic fortress, I'm prepared for hostility, danger, and dark magics. What I didn't expect was Lord Evander Nightshade-infuriatingly handsome, dangerously mysterious, and too skilled at drawing out feelings I shouldn't entertain. Phoenixes and vampires aren't supposed to mix, especially not with corruption bleeding through the walls and immortals losing their powers left and right.

But with each step deeper into this supernatural nightmare, it's clear Evander and I might be our only hope. Can I trust him enough to battle by my side, or is he just another distraction destined to burn me? One wrong move could ignite more than my heart-it could incinerate everything we're fighting to protect.

Join me in this fiery tale of forbidden passion, dangerous conspiracies, and supernatural peril-where love might just burn brighter than the apocalypse itself.
