Embers Origin
The arrival of five thousand Others onto the blazing sands of the Mojave Desert could signal the end of life on Earth as we know it.
Clair
When I agreed to consult with the military on a top-secret project, I never dreamed my job would take me out of the lecture hall and into a world filled with orcs, nagas, and minotaurs.
Ashok, the mysterious orc warrior blessed with the power to unravel languages at a touch, is the key to discovering why they’re here and if they plan to harm us.
Though shocking, the liberties he takes with my body aren’t too high a price to pay to protect the lives of everyone on Earth. Except how can I pretend this is a sacrifice when I can’t wait for his next “download”?
Ashok
The power of my magic is rivaled only by the intensity of Clair’s gentle touch. I’m drawn to her in a way I’ve never felt before until I discover she's hiding plans to destroy my people.
Although we may be enemies by day, by night she warms my bed and makes me forget everything but her.
Prepare to be captivated by this spellbinding tale of forbidden love, high-stakes magic, and the delicate balancing act between desire and destiny.
Written by USA TODAY Bestselling authors Aria Vale and Alana Khan, Embers Origin has sweeping romance, explicit spice, and a happy ever after.
The series
In the scorching heart of the Mojave Desert, where fences divide humanity from the “Others,” the flames don’t just burn, they bind. The OrcFire series by Alana Khan and Aria Vale reimagines monster romance with the grit of firefighters, the ache of forbidden love, and the spark of redemption in a world that’s forgotten its mercy.
Read full series description
Twenty-five years after orcs and other beings crash-landed on Earth, they’ve been exiled to a barren zone outside Los Angeles. Feared by humans, branded as monsters, they fight the only way they know how, by saving lives. Behind the sirens and smoke are stories of strength and longing: an orc who hides his scars beneath soot-blackened armor, a human woman whose courage burns hotter than any blaze, and a love that refuses to stay contained.
Each book follows a different pair caught between prejudice and passion, their connection forged in danger and tempered by loyalty. The orcs may be fierce, but what defines them isn’t their size or strength, it’s their humanity. The heroines who meet them don’t need saving; they bring their own fire, forcing both worlds to question who the real monsters are.
The world-building glows with cinematic detail: a desert turned refugee zone, a firehouse where brotherhood replaces bloodlines, a society that fears what it doesn’t understand. Themes of acceptance, sacrifice, and belonging run beneath the surface like underground heat. And though every story ends in hard-won love, the road there is littered with ash, courage, and the quiet triumph of hearts that refuse to cool.
For readers drawn to orc romance and paranormal love stories that blend raw emotion, social tension, and slow-burn heat, this series stands apart. It’s not just about monsters and humans, it’s about what’s left standing after the world burns and two souls choose to rebuild from the ashes together.
