The Emperor of Ash and Ivory

In a world where magic governs bloodlines and empires are forged through war, Princess Ruria of Edelweiss has lived a life untouched by suffering. Her kingdom knows peace, her people know kindness, and her heart has never learned fear—until the day her homeland is marked for annihilation. The threat comes in the form of Vaelor Noctyrr, the infamous Emperor of the West. Once a forgotten prince, Vaelor became the sole survivor of a kingdom erased from history. From its ashes, he rose as an emperor with no people, no mercy, and no equal—waging wars so devastating that even demons allied with humanity to stop him. Feared as a calamity greater than the Demon Lord, Vaelor is both divine in beauty and monstrous in legend. To save his kingdom from destruction, Ruria’s father offers her as tribute—sold as the Emperor’s bride in exchange for peace. Torn from her sheltered life, Ruria is delivered into the hands of the man the world calls a monster. Yet when she finally meets Vaelor, she finds not a raging tyrant, but a silent, hollow emperor burdened by loss and wrath beyond comprehension. As Ruria enters the heart of Vaelor’s dark empire, fear slowly gives way to understanding, and hatred begins to fracture under the weight of unspoken pain. Bound by a bargain forged in despair, the princess and the emperor are drawn into a dangerous dance of power, obsession, and forbidden tenderness. But the world will not forgive the Emperor of Ash—and neither will the forces that fear what he might become if he learns how to love again. The Emperor of Ash and Ivory is a dark fantasy romance about sacrifice and sovereignty, about a girl offered as salvation and a man who has forgotten what it means to be human—and the fragile, devastating love that may either redeem them both… or burn the world to cinders.
