City of Mist and Ash (Kingdom of Mythrend Book 1)

A sketch artist running from her past, a mysterious fae warrior, and a love to destroy kingdoms.

As a sketch artist with the city’s Golden Guard, Paisley is tasked with drawing crime scenes. She has spent years trying to hide in the massive city of Golden Mist, but late one night when she’s returning home from a sketching session, the city is attacked. Hiding from the violence, Paisley notices a shadow in the dark that turns out to be Taner, a fae enemy warrior.

The attack signals a new era in Golden Mist, one where the magical mist that protects the city, called the Convergence, is mysteriously losing its power. For years the magic has protected not only the city, but the dark secrets hidden within it. Once the Convergence weakens, danger rises as the old way falls. Nothing will ever be the same.

The search begins for a powerful warlock heir who has been in hiding for many years. Paisley and Taner race against dangers on all sides to find the heir’s shattering power. As the Convergence fails, more secrets tumble into the light.

All Paisley ever wanted was to keep her family safe by staying hidden, but she never accounted for being ordered to work with a warrior who breaks down all her barriers, pays too close attention to her, and sees everything she’s always tried to hide. Betrayals are rampant, and no one can be trusted. As her world is shredded, Paisley will have to weave together a new fate from the ashes of her old life - if she survives. If Taner can save her. If she can save herself.**
