The Crown Of Crimson Ash

Gentlelove
In a world where the sun is a dying ember and the sky rains the ash of forgotten gods, a lowly corpse-mender must bind her soul to a cursed, exiled prince to survive the storm that eats memories. Kaveri is a Bone-Stitcher, the lowest caste in the Obsidian Empire, tasked with sewing the souls of the dead back into the earth so they don't return as Ash-Wraiths. In a land choked by the Great Cinnabar Storms metaphysical tempests that strip a person of their identity she lives on borrowed time and stolen memories. When a high-born commander dies on her table, he carries a secret: the shard of the Crimson Crown, a relic of the First Sun. To save herself from execution, Kaveri accidentally binds the shard to her own heart, awakening Malik—the "Cursed Star"—a prince of the fallen dynasty who has been trapped in the ash for a thousand years. Together, they must navigate a gothic landscape of floating ziggurats and blood-magic courts. He needs her body to manifest; she needs his ancient fire to keep the shadows from swallowing her whole. But in the Crimson Empire, the only thing more dangerous than the ash is the heat of a bond that could burn the world to the ground.
