About Of Withering Dreams: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Fate of the Embered Book 1)
He loved her in silence for years. Now fate wants to take her from him. For fans of The Serpent & the Wings of Night, this spicy epic dark fantasy romance follows a woman awakening to dangerous magic, her loyal best friend, and his broody brother as they navigate a dying world woven with dreams, corruption, and forbidden power. This is the beginning of a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers, star-crossed romance that unfolds across the Fate of the Embered series. DREAMS DECAY The Dormancy was meant to be the mortal realm’s salvation. From autumn to spring, citizens are forced into a magical slumber to conserve dwindling resources. The divine Ancients vanished long ago, leaving humanity under the merciless rule of the Elders. These ruthless oligarchs preach one motto: "Through Dormancy, we blossom!" But the land is dying, people are disappearing, and hope is unraveling. For Seryn, this Dormancy will change everything. Upon waking, she realizes nothing is as it should be—and discovers her hidden identity as a magic-wielder. As the threads of reality fray, she learns her abilities are unusual. Unpredictable. DESIRES BLOOM While her inherited powers bloom, so do her desires for her charming best friend, Kaden. Their bond has always been unshakable. She wouldn’t dream of risking their friendship—but the Fates can’t be bothered with mortal dreams. DESTINY UNRAVELS Navigating a treacherous path where dreams and nightmares blur, Seryn must confront haunting truths. Her newfound courage and magic might be the key to saving her realm, but will they be enough when even dreams can wither into oblivion? ***** OF WITHERING DREAMS is the first book in the FATE OF THE EMBERED series—an epic dark fantasy romance perfect for fans of morally gray characters, friends to lovers, broody men and the women who save them, open-door spice, character-driven plots, mythological creatures, rich world-building, a diverse cast, a fierce heroine with unique powers, elemental magic, and high-stakes trials.
