Book Detail
LONG-Five champions. One prophecy. To remember who she is, she must relive what they once meant to her.
When Katherine wakes in a castle, her name is the first thing she hears. It is not something she remembers.
No past. No people. No way to make sense of the eight mortals brought to Eyrondale for their protection, or why they look at her as though they have already lost her once.
A prophecy bound to her power is stirring. The Five Trials of Fate are about to begin, and when a mortal is chosen in place of one of the sons of Magic, destiny shifts.
In the first instalment of The Ashes of Eyrondale series, Katherine embarks on a journey that forces her to confront her past, unlock the power within her, and fight to keep her heart from ruling her head.
The first trial brings no threat of failure, only the return of truths she is not ready to face. Piece by piece, her past comes to light as she revisits her history with each of the Five Champions of Fate. Forced to make sense of lives once lived through dreamlike fragments and fractured recollections, she soon learns that some truths are tender, others are laced with betrayal, and some only begin to scratch the surface.
The Awakening of a Princess is a slow-burn romantasy woven with magic realism and paranormal intrigue. Told through multiple points of view, it leans into longing rather than resolution, prioritises emotional stakes over physical intimacy, and embraces unanswered questions instead of easy truths.
The first trial is the easiest. The second forces her to exist in the present while carrying five pasts she cannot forge.
