Ashes for the Evening Star book 1

HE STOLE HER KINGDOM. HER HEART WAS NEVER PART OF THE BARGAIN.

On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Princess Vesper watches her beloved kingdom fall. Her family is slaughtered, and Ash – her Knight Protector and the only boy she's ever loved – dies trying to save her.
Ten years later, the princess has become the weapon.

When Cassius, the ruthless Shadow Imperator, arrives to inspect his conquered lands, he claims Vesper as his unwilling guardian. His Knight Protector.

But beneath Cassius's mask lies something dangerously familiar that wakes memories – and desires – Vesper thought were buried ten years ago.

Ash was her gravity. Now a new force threatens to consume her.
