Ashes of Chaos
“One didn’t love among the stars without knowing a taste of darkness.”
Knox and Crew’s love story continues in this second book of the Spirits of the Earth trilogy.
Crew is faced with his most pivotal lifetime yet. War is here. The malicious Sha’har are amassing in alarming numbers. Mareen is kidnapped. His former lover is back and desperate to reclaim him.
Yet, above all, he’s struggling to come to terms with Knox’s future mortality. All conflicts drive him to find and release the mythical spirits of the earth. The only problem? It’s forbidden to speak of them, much less seek them out.
Meanwhile, Knox’s resilience and loyalty are tested. With the guidance from Crew and other Ulayu warriors, she’s shed the fragility imposed by her upbringing. However, she still struggles to find her purpose and voice in a world that’s had centuries to refine its strength.
Old enemies and new problems push Knox to question her worth, culminating in a tragic decision that has unspeakable consequences.
This second book returns readers to a world of secrets, spellbinding romance, and empowered heroines, where conflict is inevitable and plot-twists are guaranteed.

Reading Ashes of Chaos early
If you want to read Ashes of Chaos early, an ARC copy is how it happens: a free advance copy through BookFunnel ahead of release, in exchange for nothing more than your honest opinion once you’ve read it. Reviews are voluntary and they are yours. An honest two-star review from a reader who didn’t get on with the book is worth more to everyone than a five-star one written out of politeness.
