The Kingdom of Ash and Shadows

When her father is on the brink of life and death, the heroine makes a decision that was previously unthinkable for her: she infiltrates the Golden City to find a healer. This is how Arion, a faerie whose touch for the first time does not cause pain, enters her life. This coincidence changes everything. Instead of a brief respite, she faces a new cycle of trials: the attention of powerful faeries, training at a magical academy, the pressure of outside interests, and questions about her own nature that cannot be answered without risk. The story unfolds through dangerous choices, distrust, attraction, and the struggle for the right to control her own destiny.
