Ashes at the Gate: Ash and Empire - Book 1

By M. A. Rowan

Ashes at the Gate

Elowen has always trusted the woods more than she has ever trusted people. But when strangers begin moving through the forest and armed men arrive at the village gate, the world she knows begins to close around her.

As occupation takes hold, Elowen is forced into a life governed by fear, manipulation, and false mercy. The forest that once gave her freedom can no longer protect her, and inside the walls every choice comes with a price.

In a place where survival demands more than obedience, she must decide how much of herself she can lose before there is nothing left to save.

Ashes at the Gate is an adult dark fantasy and the first book in the Ashes and Empire series.
