Bound in Ash & Gold
THE FYRALA CHRONICLES, BOOK TWO
A sequel to Between Light & Shadows
Elora survived the human world.
She survived Fyrala.
Now Fyrala wants a price.
When Elora returns to court pregnant, the so-called safety of marble halls and sworn oaths becomes its own kind of cage. Rumors move faster than ravens. Loyalties shift behind smiles. And somewhere beneath the court's polished rituals, something ancient stirs-something bound to a centuries-old witch oath that never truly ended.
The hunters don't come with banners. They come with silence, with symbols, with the kind of patience that only vengeance teaches.
Forced to flee the false shelter of court politics and decoyed alliances, Elora must trust a small, dangerous circle: a wounded prince who once bled for her, a clever thief who follows light like a compass, and a reluctant protector caught between duty and devotion. Together, they'll chase runes that whisper at midnight, pry open sanctums that remember names no one dares speak, and bargain with fae who believe justice requires blood.
Because this time, the target isn't just Elora.
It's the child she carries-
and the tether tightening around that new life like a snare meant to turn innocence into a weapon.
And if they don't sever it in time...
Fyrala won't simply lose a future.
It will be remade.
