A Pact of Ash and Thorn by Gael Ashen is now available
We are thrilled to announce that A Pact of Ash and Thorn, the first book in Gael Ashen’s The Unmarked Courts series, is now available.
Bryn Ashvale chose mortality. She gave up her Valkyrie mantle and became a London coroner, cataloguing the dead she once would have claimed. When bodies begin arriving marked with symbols from the Unmarked Courts, the hidden fae judiciary she abandoned, Bryn’s carefully constructed human life begins to crack.
Her only ally is Kern, the Lord of the Wild Hunt, who has his own reasons for wanting the killing to stop. Their alliance is a necessity, not a choice. The slow burn between them is a complication neither can afford.
Dark romantasy that blends Celtic and Norse mythology with modern London’s criminal underworld. For readers who love older protagonists, slow-burn romance, and the weight of ancient bargains.
