Tower of Ash and Darkness

The first book in the Tower of Ash series by C.L. Shivers

Lailah is the only witch of her century—a rare and feared being raised by the Vampire King to serve as his ultimate weapon. Bound by duty and mistrusted by all, she longs to escape the gilded cage that has defined her life.

But when she crosses paths with Casper—the king’s lethal shadow whose past is as shrouded as her own—her carefully constructed world begins to crack. Desire and forbidden trust spark between them, yet secrets of blood and betrayal threaten to tear them apart. 

As enemies close in and a legendary stone capable of reshaping the world draws them into a deadly game, Lailah must decide: Will she sacrifice her heart to save a world that has never accepted her—or risk everything to seize the freedom she craves? 

Tower of Ash and Darkness is the first book in The Tower of Ash Series, a spellbinding blend of dark fantasy, forbidden romance, and high-stakes adventure where love and power collide—and the line between salvation and ruin is written in ash.
