The Dominions Ash & Embers

Recently graduated from basic military training, Asha Raynor finds herself faced with the grueling challenge of becoming the first female Soturi-the highest ranking military unit in the Kingdom of Perseis. But before she can successfully complete her elite training academy, Asha must first survive a merciless selection process, a hellacious series of military benchmarks, and the looming eyes of a sinister Major. As training with her Division teammates renews her lost sense of family and gradually repairs the fragile cracks etched into her scarred soul, encounters with the alluring lieutenant of her regiment threaten to demolish the stone walls she has securely built around her cold heart. But Asha quickly learns that the lieutenant is not the man she believed him to be, and the twisted secrets surrounding the death of her brother are not as clear cut as she initially thought. And with endless information causing her to question where her loyalties lie, Asha soon realizes that those in Leadership, the same military officials she has followed her entire life, might have played a key role in the brutal slaughtering of those she loves most. As the looming Darkness enters her mind and threatens to swallow her whole, Asha is faced with a splitting decision: become Perseis's first female Soturi warrior, or embark upon a journey that could uncover the answers to every question she carries about the death of her family. But what if she can have them both? And what if the attainment of one, is the answer to the other? Asha thus begins an adventure she never wanted; an adventure that will release her Darkest memories, and unleash the locked power burning through her veins-a magic more dangerous than any hidden secret...
