A war is coming. Truths come to light. Sacrifices must be made. Ivy has always known that the Elven Council holds the fate of both humans and fair folk in their hands, but now their devious agenda threatens to destroy everything she holds dear. Trapped in a realm with an icy princess, deadly amulets, and fresh wounds, the least of Ivy's concerns might be her shattered heart—she may also lose her innate magic. Without a Gathering seed, Ivy won't survive long in either realm. Orion has finally secured the acceptance and power he's craved all his life and stands at his father's side within the elite ranks of the court. Though he's where he has longed to be, he finds himself torn between the family he's always wanted and the elf maiden he has fallen for. His loyalties are shifting, and one wrong move could cost him everything. Old prejudices are surfacing, poison is spreading, and allies and enemies are gathering. Ivy and Orion's love and loyalty might be the key to saving their worlds—or the spark that ignites their downfall. Elven Council in Ashes is the second book in the Alysatraee duology. A story of redemption, fighting when you need to and finding contentment when you don't, and sacrifices that lead to happily ever afters.
