Ashes & Embers

In the forgotten corners of Elarindor, magic is a curse spoken only in whispers. The Inquisitor’s Guild hunts witches with righteous fury, stamping out all traces of arcane defiance. But deep within the ancient Whispering Woods, something stirs—an old power, stubborn and alive. Liz Blackthorn, the last of her shattered coven, lives in exile among the trees. She keeps to herself, healing the desperate and protecting what little beauty remains. Her power is subtle, woven into wind and root. But the Guild has noticed her. And they’ve sent Caden Thorne. A hunter forged in loss, Caden is driven by a singular goal: to erase witchkind from the realm. Cold, cunning, and disciplined, he follows the trail of the Forest Witch with merciless intent. But fate, it seems, has other plans.
