"Action-packed fantasy romance that will keep your heart on edge"

Fresh Fiction Review

Ashes
Sophie H. Morgan

Romance Contemporary | Romance Paranormal

Ana had remade herself as a warrior, fighting for justice against the human ruler, Edward. She has kept her past hidden from even her closest associates. Unfortunately, Ana is now face to face with her past when the assassin, Cade, recognizes her for who she really is- a princess and heir to the Phoenix Territory. Will Ana be able to convince Cade of Edward's deadly deceit and secret attacks on supernaturals? ASHES is the first book in the Divided Kingdom series and I love that it centers around a Phoenix! Sophie H. Morgan introduces readers to some of the various paranormal creatures who populate her world and I can't wait to see what surprises await us in future books. The romance in ASHES is hot and heavy but with a good solid dose of realism. Sophie H. Morgan's characters struggle with the concept of love as both Ana and Cade have faced horrible personal losses. I also like the fact that Sophie H. Morgan doesn't overlook the very obvious differences in their societal roles but instead incorporates it into the storyline. ASHES is an action-packed fantasy romance that will keep your heart on edge. I hope we get to see the secondary characters get their own happily-ever-afters in future books as I look forward to visiting both the world and the characters again. ASHES is a great introduction to the Divided Kingdom series as fantasy romance fans will appreciate Sophie H. Morgan's world.

SUMMARY

Secrets can burn. The Divided Kingdom, Book 1 Reared from birth to rule the Phoenix territory, Ana fled her future and her past when her parents were murdered. Now she secretly leads a rebellion to stop the human ruler, Edward, from experimenting on supernaturals. When she finds herself cornered by an assassin, she knows just what to do: Roast him and toast him. Then recognition sends blue-tipped flames licking through her veins. It’s Cade, the royal bodyguard who once rejected her youthful confession of love. When Cade regains consciousness from the force of Ana’s punch, he’s still reeling from shock—and fury. He’d loved the princess, and for ten years he thought her dead. Though his inner jackal growls with desire for her, she is the key to completing his mission for Edward—hunt down the rebel known as Liberty. Ana can’t believe Cade doesn’t know the truth about Edward. If she can convince him of it, his blade could turn the tide of the rebellion. But first they must get beyond their past, or the whole kingdom could go up in smoke. Warning: Contains incendiary sex between a phoenix princess with a secret identity, and a jackal shifter who can take a lot of heat. Boys from the “hood”, a king jacked up on enhanced DNA, and killer heels. Anybody got a match?
