Wolf of Ashes by Everly Frost

His dark crown will be mine.

My mother was imprisoned for a crime she didn’t commit. She was locked away in darkness, never to see light again. I was born into that darkness, that perpetual night. I learned to survive without sunlight and to thrive on the scraps that were thrown to me.
All because someone didn’t want me to claim my birthright.
Now I’m free. And I’m coming for what’s mine.
I’ll go deep into the nightmares of an empire built on blood and bones to find the man whose name my mother couldn’t utter.
A beast who stole my place among supernaturals.
I’ll do whatever it takes to slice his empire apart, piece by little piece.
Even if it means making a deal with a man whose thirst for vengeance exceeds my own. A broken king. The darkest of them all.
In return for his power, he wants more from me than I can give.
He wants my heart.
