Flower Among the Ashes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781540704672)

Elves and ogres don't belong together. This was the Elven Kingdom's most ironclad rule. They are about to defy that law.

When her parents cast her out for possessing a power they could not understand, Arsh learned the world was cruel. When her lover betrayed her, it taught her happy endings were a lie. On the run with a bounty on her head, the elven oracle vows never to let anyone exploit her ability to see the future-or her heart-ever again.

As her enemies close in, Arsh finds an unlikely ally in Rekki, an ogre mercenary on a mission to retrieve a priceless treasure stolen by the elven king. Offering protection in return for her aid, Arsh has no choice but to accompany the handsome warrior on his perilous quest.

But Rekki has no intention of parting ways with her when the treasure is back in ogre hands. For he was born under a prophecy foretelling he will become king of the ogres and unite his people's fractured clans. When Rekki looks at Arsh , he sees the queen destined to rule at his side. If he cannot teach her reluctant heart to trust again, they will not survive the dangers ahead.
