A Bargain of Ash and Ivy
Ashen Courts · Book 1
Nine clauses bind them. The seventh costs her heart.
Alexander Vale
Alexander Vale writes romantasy of bargains and hidden courts — oaths sealed in blood, thrones built on bees and iron, and starwrights who forge fate itself. His Ashen Courts series opens with A Bargain of Ash and Ivy, and The Last Oathbinder begins the Ember Court. Beyond fantasy, he writes twisty mysteries where the past refuses to stay buried, as in The Last Person Who Knew, warm contemporary romance on a harbor that keeps its secrets, and clear-eyed money books for people starting from nothing, led by From Nothing to Millions. His stories live where a single promise can cost everything and a single truth can set it right. When he is not writing, he is plotting the next impossible bargain and collecting first lines like other people collect bookmarks.
