Ashen Oath

By Zora Stone

The mirrors demand a price. The ash remembers every oath.

Bree Holloway thought the sanctuary would keep them safe. Instead, it's become a beacon-drawing refugees, enemies, and whispers from the void. When she discovers a hidden chamber lined with ancient mirrors, she comes face to face with Riley-her reflection, her other half, her perfect opposite.

The Council is closing in. The bonds she shares with Gray, Rhett, Jace, Theo, and Wes are deepening, but so is the corruption threading through her power. Something called Ethos is feeding on her doubt, whispering promises of strength, offering everything she's afraid to want.

And Thane? Thane is pulling away just when she needs him most.

To save her people-and herself-Bree must choose between consuming her mirror self to become whole, or finding another way to heal a fractured magical world. But some oaths can't be broken. Some choices can't be undone.

And some reflections show you exactly who you're afraid to become.
