The Ashen Queen set for 2027 release!
In this climactic finale of the Harmony series, destinies converge in a world on the brink. Elymiah, chained and pregnant, faces the Hallowed Masters’ judgment in Aivaterra, her unborn child’s fate hanging by a thread. Banished and broken, Eymeg roams the wilderness, haunted by betrayal yet driven toward a fleeting hope of redemption. Ayda, trapped in the Hunting Grounds—a realm for damned souls—fights to escape a place where the living are forbidden. Meanwhile, Bhazorych, the human soul of Bendrick bound to a minotaur, and Irina, wielders of dark forgotten magic, journey to the underworld to heal the fractured divide between heavens and hells. As their paths collide, the choices they make will either save the world—or doom it forever.
Catch up to the finale here.
