Crown of Ash and Iron: Book One of The Obsidian Vanguard Series, (Paperback)

<b>She was born with forbidden fire. He was forged to destroy her kind.</b><p>In a world where the Sovereign's iron fist has crushed all who wield Solfire - the golden magic of light and creation - Elara Voss has spent seventeen years hiding what she is. Surviving. Keeping her head down in Ward 17, where the collared and the broken are forgotten.</p><p>Then the Protectorate comes for her.</p><p>Conscripted into the Obsidian Vanguard's brutal training academy, Elara is thrust into a world of war, blood trials, and soldiers bred to kill people exactly like her. And standing at the center of it all is Commander Kaelen Ashford - cold, calculating, and utterly merciless.</p><p>He is her enemy. Her superior. The man who could expose her secret with a single glance.</p><p>But the battlefield has a way of blurring lines. Every stolen moment, every clash of wills, every time his silver eyes linger a heartbeat too long - Elara feels the war inside her shifting. Because Kaelen isn't just hunting her kind. He's hiding something too.</p><p>When a mission behind enemy lines forces them together, the fire between them becomes impossible to deny. But in a world built on lies, trust is a luxury neither can afford - and the truth about what Elara really is could burn them both to ash.</p><p><i>Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and From Blood and Ash.</i></p><p><b>Crown of Ash and Iron is a scorching enemies-to-lovers dark fantasy romance with a fierce heroine, a morally gray commander, forbidden magic, and a slow burn that ignites.
