I buried my heart eight years ago. I wasn’t planning to dig it up.

After Aerin died, I became the guild’s master necromancer for the missions no one else survives—dead channels, iron walls, and nothing left to lose. Until they sent me to a failing seal in the Cascades and something ancient woke beneath the mountain.

Kael is seven feet of bone and amber fire, a Sentinel guardian who shouldn’t exist. The moment the bond snaps into place, he decides I’m his to protect. My damaged channels should make it impossible. My grief should keep him out. But the resonance doesn’t care about my walls, and neither does he. His touch burns through every defense I’ve built, patient, relentless, and hungry enough to make me feel alive again.

Now the Hollow Court wants to harvest him for the Convergence. The guild wants him contained. And there’s a traitor inside our own ranks feeding them information. With Elias, Thorne, and Crash turning my fight into full-blown chaos, I’m no longer alone—whether I want to be or not.

I spent eight years making sure I had nothing left to lose. Kael is making that very difficult… and I’m starting to let him.

Ash & Bone is a dark MM fantasy romance featuring a grief-shattered necromancer, a patient but fiercely possessive skeletal guardian, protective bonding that goes both ways, found family, and explicit heat hot enough to reforge broken souls.
