The Great Ember, Book I: She Who Is War
An adult epic fantasy that balances action, romance, drama, humor, and multidimensional characters in an entertaining spectacle about the mess of being human. Embark on the journey of the goddess of war and a lovable rogue with a mouth. A mythic, psychological dark fantasy with high-stakes action and adventure, She Who Is War delivers slow burn romance, political intrigue, morally gray characters, explores deep, dark themes through 30+ year-old leads and rewards readers who read between the lines.
When a god falls, the earth trembles. When freedom is lost, war is inevitable. And when a goddess wakes up mortal…well, that’s just inconvenient.
Obsidia, once the unshakable goddess of war, has been cast down, stripped of her divinity, and left to walk the mortal realm. With her champions lost to the Underworld and the Highlands left defenseless, she must find the means to reclaim her power. But now, she is vulnerable. Breakable. And worst of all…a thirty-five-year-old woman.
Asa doesn’t believe in the gods. He believes in bad luck, unpaid debts, and the undeniable fact that life has a way of kicking you when you’re already down. Fairy tales don’t put coin in your pocket. But when he joins forces with the most terrifying woman he’s ever met, he’s dragged into a war far bigger than himself—one that might just need him.
The first book in an epic saga of war, fate, and the mess of being human. Perfect for fans of gritty fantasy, sharp banter, and reluctant heroism.
