Synopsis
[Volume 1: Dante Blackthorn]
When Anastasia and her sister Marianne are captured and shipped across the seas by pirates, they become commodities to be sold in a distant land. Marianne is taken as a courtesan, while Anastasia barely escapes a terrible fate by pretending to be mute. She is forced into the lowest ring of servants at the royal palace, where she endures a life of servitude and creates beautiful artwork to mask her pain.
Despite years passing, Anastasia has never forgotten her sister's promise to return to their family together. However, with her movement restricted and the guards vigilant, escape seems impossible.
When Anastasia comes into contact with the Forsaken Prince, her life spirals out of control and she triggers a Crux of incredible proportions. Now battling her own inner demons while navigating the treacherous politics of the royal court, Anastasia must confront the truth about her sister's fate and make a choice that could alter the course of an entire kingdom.
[Volume 2: Emily Blackthorn]
Princess Emily's life takes a turbulent turn when she is rejected, leaving her heartbroken and her soul at the brink of corruption. In a desperate bid to save herself, she journeys to the West.
Enter the Storm Prince, a charismatic archdemon with striking blue eyes, with a saint-like smile. Emily had hoped she'd seen the last of him, but fate has other plans. As if her soul dying isn’t enough, someone wants to steal it!
Caught between the suitors and the haunting nightmares that have plagued her since childhood, Emily begins to see Raylen in a new light. The blue-eyed demon may not be the monster she once thought.

Write a reviewI have a new guilty pleasure and it is so hard to put down. If you’re looking to be transported into another place and time, adventure, romance, comedic elements and a bit of gore, this book is for you. And no, I’m not going to add in any spoilers. Just read it for yourself and see why it’s trending.
I can’t say this enough; Ash is the best author here. I have quiet a few books opened here but this author hands down takes the cake 🎂. 1- great storyline 2-no filters just to make the book long 3- gets straight to the point at the right time without leaving any crumbs 4-queen of cliffhangers making you beg for more 5-heart attack queen specialist 🤣. This book she is showing how much better she’s getting. And the comments on each chapter is always over 300 and that shows how much of her readers are willing to express and communicate with her her other readers. And we highly appreciate that.
I am already immersed in the story at chapter 16. Ash is truly not holding back to deliver yet again a unique plot and world design. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love the the wide range of characters presented so far, and I KNOW there will be drama like never seen before. I would honestly sale my limbs to read it all at once 🤩🤩🔥🔥 Also I ADORE the sisters so much. Their sisterhood is beautifully depicted and their journey together already has me in tears 😭
If this is your first time reading Ash's story, you are in for a treat. I find it most enjoyable when you are reading it along with others, because you can see the impact Ash's vision has in our daily lives. Check the comments, you'll see. Her characters are flawed in the most flawless ways. You grow to love her characters, invested in their journey through the most bizarre and unpredictable ways. Just when you think you know, you're left in the dark again trying to predict the next chapter. We laugh, we cry- a lot and then we come back and start all over again. If you are looking for your next obsession, look no further!
I know this book is new, but let me tell you, 12 chapters of Ash’s writing is all it takes to hook you in and have you on the edge of your seat! Well, less that 12 if I’m being honest 😉 Ash is a master and has such a way with words. She draws you into a whole other world. You can feel all the emotions of these characters from the very beginning. Our FL has a fire in her soul that cannot be broken. But the implications of such can be a bad thing. 😔 Will she be able to escape with her sister? Will she get caught? Will the lie that was told for her safety come back to bite her in the end? Will she end up in some kind of relationship with our dark and mysterious prince? So many questions that our Dear Author will answer along the way of this incredible new journey. 🤗 If you have never read one of Ash’s books, do yourself a favor and start NOW! There is a reason she was the WSA ‘22 Gold Prize Winner! One book, any one of them, and you will become hooked and be a loyal follower of our lovely author 💖💖💖
This is gonna be a long and exciting ride, i can tell. Ash writing is phenomenal. The world building,the way she slowly introduces the characters is pure joy. There are so many characters each having their own story to tell . We're 10 chapters in and I'm hooked. Can't wait for the romance to start between Dante and Anastasia.
I just stumbled upon your latest book, after reading about it on Aotn and even though it's only the first 8 chapters, I couldn't help but be completely captivated by your storytelling and the characters you've brought to life. I was immediately drawn into the world you've created, and it was hard to put the book down once I started reading. Your writing style is incredibly engaging, and I found myself eagerly turning the pages to see what would happen next. But what struck me most about your work was the heart and soul you've poured into it. The emotions and struggles of your characters feel so real and relatable, and I found myself empathizing with them on a deep level. I can only imagine how much time, effort, and passion went into bringing these characters and their stories to life. I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for sharing your work with us. I eagerly await the release of the full book so that I can continue reading and immersing myself in your storytelling. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and so many others. I wish you all the best and continued success on your writing journey. 🩵

So exited! I love starting an new book especially from this author! It’s has that new car smell to it! 🤣🤣anyways can’t wait for all the mystery, plot twist, love and of course music to commence!
Yayyy!😙 Another of Ash’s phenomenal books, so of course I’m going to read it. All books written by this authour I have read and they’re all very stunning and captivating in their plots and twists ….I don’t have much to say but I’ll be waiting for more chapters❤️💅🏼
Kudos on the story concept. I love that it’s different from other female lead stories on Webnovel. And she doesn’t speak which is a very cool gimmick. I can’t wait to see the drama that unfolds as she gets involved in the palace matters!
Another gem from our dear author Ash. The author writing and character development is amazing. All of Ash’s books are wonderful and this one is another star to her bookshelf. ❤️
You don't need to read the book to know that it will be extraordinary, it's Ash after all. If you have read her other books, then you know what I'm talking about. I can't wait to enjoy this one
no need to wait for the book to be completed ,is author Ash of course 😍😍 always giving us the best.
As soon I saw the notification of the new book on FB, I immediately rushed to read the book. This is another book of Ash, and of course, it's going to be another rollercoaster filled with thrilling events I can't start imagining now because all her books always comes with unexpected twists and turns. Let's support another book of Ash!!! yayyy!!!❤️❤️❤️

12 chapters in and I love the story. Ash has a wonderful gift for storytelling. I love the portrayal of the female lead. She’s strong, knows when to back away, fiercely loyal to her sister, and the concept that she can’t speak is very different. It’s a whole different world and I am here for this story.
