Ashley
was born and raised in Oklahoma, where the wind really does sweep down
the plains, and horses and carriages aren’t used as much as she’d like.
When she’s not writing (haha, like that EVER happens!), she’s probably
working out or pretending she’s Sherlock Holmes. Her obsession with
writing began after reading the Lord of the Rings in the eighth grade.
Since then, she’s loved everything Fantasy–resulting in an unhealthy
obsession with the ‘geek’ tab on Pinterest, where all things awesome go.

The Network is destroyed, and Barren Reed has been exiled by the Elders of Silver Crest. To make matters worse, the black spot -a curse of dark magic- continues to devour him. Its true purpose is still unknown, but one this is certain: It will corrupt Barren in the worst way.
With her greatest secret revealed, Larkin Lee flees Maris. Accused of slaying the king, there is only one place to go –Silver Crest. But Barren isn’t happy to see her, and their reunion leaves more questions unanswered, including whether they have a future together.
As Datherious rises in power, Barren and Larkin must work together to find the fifth Relic to complete the King’s Gold and prevent Datherious from obtaining control over dark magic, but the black spot has other ideas. The closer they get to finding the final Relic, the more corrupt Barren becomes. Larkin finds herself in a head to head battle with the only man she’s ever loved and the reality is harsh –only one can walk away alive.
