THE CASTLE OF ASH AND BONE

The castle survived six wars. It was never built to keep enemies out.

Winter, 1491.

When a dead priest falls from the walls of Vardek Castle, thirteen bells begin to ring. Hundreds of miles away, Irena Varek receives a letter written by her father-a man executed twenty years earlier.

His warning is simple: Never answer the voices behind the walls.

Summoned back to the fortress that destroyed her family, Irena discovers a secret ledger of human sacrifices, names erased from history, and a terrible covenant binding the Crown to something ancient beneath the mountain.

Captain Tomas Radan knows more than he is willing to reveal. As mistrust turns into a dangerous attraction, both must decide what they are prepared to sacrifice-and whose lives they are willing to save.

Deep below Vardek, a dragon waits.

But the creature the kingdom has feared for centuries may not be the greatest horror imprisoned beneath the castle.

As the thirteenth offering approaches, the dead begin to speak, old loyalties collapse, and one name remains unwritten.

THE CASTLE OF ASH AND BONE is a dark historical gothic horror thriller about ancient terror, forbidden truths, betrayal, and the monstrous price of power.
