Evandra Dawnshade never asked for magic. The daughter of an innkeeper, she dreamed only of keeping her father's failing tavern alive. But when a forbidden book left by her late mother awakens the Rift within her, Eva is thrust into a rebellion that could topple a kingdom.

Hunted by soldiers and haunted by visions of a god of decay, Eva's only hope lies in allies as dangerous as they are alluring: Fen, a blade-dancer with shadows in her past; Felix, a healer hiding a sharp wit beneath his charm; and Eldrake, a Dragonblood warrior whose molten gaze stirs something Eva thought she'd never feel.

As the rebellion rises from its hidden city of Riftreach, Eva must master her growing power before it consumes her. But the Vessel of Azh'raim-a mirror that communes with an ancient darkness-threatens to turn her gift into a curse. And the bond igniting between her and Eldrake may be their greatest weapon... or the spark that burns them both.

Ashes of the Rift is the first book in The Riftreach Series-a sweeping romantasy of forbidden magic, rebellion, and a love powerful enough to challenge gods.
