Some fires cannot be controlled.
Coming Jan 2026The five kingdoms of the Ashen Reach haven't known peace in a generation. Shadow-walkers are hunted on sight. The crown passes through blood, not merit. And somewhere in the ruins of the old court, a power is waking up that no one is ready for.

"Crown of Ash and Stars is the romantasy debut of the decade. Lyra broke my heart and I am grateful."
— #1 NYT Bestselling Author
Sera Vane writes romantasy for readers who want their magic systems to matter and their love interests to make them genuinely nervous. She's obsessed with morally grey characters, impossible bargains, and the exact moment someone realizes they're already too far gone.
She lives with two demanding cats and an embarrassingly large collection of unread fantasy novels she keeps buying anyway.
