When Ashlyn arrives at Delghara she has nothing but ambition and a desperate determination to prove herself. The Dominion’s elite magic wielders hold positions of immense power and influence, and Ash intends to claim a place among them. But first, she has to survive an institution that erodes loyalty, normalises sacrifice, and turns students into weapons.
Then she meets Xave Gable.
He’s brilliant, ruthless, and impossible to shake once he’s decided something is worth his attention. He’s also the first person to recognise the hunger lurking beneath her controlled exterior and seems intent on seeing just how deep it goes.
As deadly trials claim lives around them and Delghara’s secrets begin to surface, rivalry gives way to fascination, then fascination gives way to obsession.
And obsession has a way of demanding more than anyone intended to give.
An Arc of Ash is a dark academia romantasy featuring deadly trials, forbidden magic, buried secrets, a dangerously ambitious heroine, and a slow-burn romance built on rivalry, obsession, and the terrifying experience of being truly seen.
