INK AND ASH
Book One of The Inkbound Trilogy
Every mark remembers. But some secrets were never meant to be uncovered.
For twenty years, Elara Voss has carried the weight of a tragedy she cannot forget.
The fire.
The screams.
Blackridge.
She has spent years hiding from the magic that destroyed everything she knew, determined to leave the world of Ashmakers and their enchanted ink behind.
Then someone begins killing them.
When Elara is pulled into a mystery surrounding the murders, her path leads to Cassian Vale-a dangerous man surrounded by whispers, secrets, and an ancient tattoo that should not exist.
He claims he needs her help.
She doesn't trust him.
And neither of them is prepared for what they uncover.
Ancient symbols begin appearing where they shouldn't. A forgotten name resurfaces. A mysterious stranger seems to know far more about Elara than he should. And somewhere beneath the secrets surrounding the Ashmakers lies something that has been waiting for centuries to be remembered.
The more Elara searches for answers, the more she begins to question everything she thought she knew about Blackridge, about magic, and about herself.
Because some mysteries aren't meant to be solved.
Some are meant to be awakened.
And when Elara's path becomes mysteriously intertwined with Cassian's, she is forced to confront a question she never expected to ask:
What if the person she was meant to fear is the one person she was never meant to live without?
