From the author of the Legends of Thezmarr series, Iron & Embers by Helen Scheuerer is an epic romantic fantasy featuring a suspenseful story of enemies turned lovers, dark magic, and a world of assassins and warriors. Perfect for fans of The Witcher and The Bridge Kingdom.

Wren Embervale, an alchemist turned assassin, finds solace in only one thing: revenge for the death of her friends from old wars. But when an unknown form of alchemy is used to attack a king of the warring middle realms, Wren takes on the mission to find an antidote for the strange new poisoning. To earn a place in the ancient alchemy academy of Drevenor, she must secure her spot by winning the Gauntlet—a harsh series of deadly trials that could cost her sanity or even her life.

However, the greatest threat might come from the man assigned to protect her—Torj Elderbrock, the silver hero of the war, who has hated her since she assassinated his last target. Their shared history creates a simmering tension that threatens to consume them both. With peace among the realms more fragile than ever and enemies lurking around every corner, Wren will discover whether love can indeed heal all wounds—or if it is actually the deadliest poison of all.

Iron & Embers by Helen Scheuerer is the stunning first installment in The Ashes of Thezmarr series. Continue Wren and Torj's story in Thorns & Fire.
