Crown of Ash and Light

by T. N. Thomas

Overview

In a world where magic is forbidden, one girl carries its last hope.

Long ago, magic flowed freely across Elyrith-until the empire rose, crushing kingdoms and hunting the Veylans, guardians of elemental power. The Ascendants, bonded to fire, water, air, earth, light, and darkness, were wiped out... or so the empire believes.

Hidden deep within the cursed Dark Forest, Nyxaria lives in secrecy. Bearing the power of all six elements, she remains the last spark in the ashes of her people's legacy. As the empire tightens its grip, Nyxaria's destiny awakens, threatening to unravel secrets that could shatter the world-or restore it to its rightful balance.

Will she rise to reclaim magic before it's lost forever?

Crown of Ash and Light is a sweeping high fantasy filled with elemental magic, found family, and the resilience of a heroine who refuses to bow to tyranny. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, and Shelby Mahurin.

Step into a world of shadows and light-where destiny demands sacrifice.

About the Author

T. N. Thomas—author of Crown of Ash and Light and a lifelong storyteller at heart. When I’m not writing, you’ll probably find me deep in the wild—fishing, hiking, or hunting with mud on my boots and no complaints. I split my time between the quiet of the woods and the comfort of a good book. I live with my Siberian Husky, Zaria—my loyal sidekick and occasional partner in mischief.

This debut novel is a piece of my soul. I wrote it for readers who crave fierce characters, raw emotion, and fantasy with grit. If that sounds like your kind of story, I hope it leaves a mark long after the final page.
