Crown of Ash and Starfire

By E Frankensen

**A death-mage sent to kill a dragon prince. A crown prince consumed by an ancient spirit. And a love that could save-or destroy-them both.**

Astrid Nachtborne is the last of her kind-a death-mage, trained by the resistance to assassinate the Eisenreich's crown prince. Her mission: infiltrate Drachenfels Academy, get close to Prince Alaric, and end his life.

But Alaric Eisenhardt is not what she expected.

Haunted by the ancient dragon spirit that's slowly consuming his soul, Alaric has spent twelve years fighting a battle he can't win. When he chooses Astrid as his partner, neither of them expects the connection that ignites between them.

As they train together, uncover dark conspiracies, and face assassins at every turn, Astrid must choose between the mission that defined her and the love that could save them both.

A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy perfect for fans of *Fourth Wing*, *A Court of Thorns and Roses*, and *From Blood and Ash*.
