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.
Alana Khan
Alana Khan writes where the heart meets the stars, blending raw human emotion with the thrill of otherworldly adventure. A USA Today bestselling author, she has built a devoted following across the worlds of sci-fi and monster romance, crafting stories that are as emotionally charged as they are unapologetically steamy.
Before she began creating alien warriors, battle-scarred heroes, and fierce heroines fighting for love among the stars, Khan worked as a psychotherapist specializing in trauma and PTSD. That background threads through every page she writes. Her characters, whether human, hybrid, or something far stranger, are never simple archetypes. They are survivors. They carry wounds, face inner darkness, and heal through connection. It is this emotional depth that gives her romantic universes a pulse that feels utterly real, even when set light years away.
OrcFire
In the scorching heart of the Mojave Desert, where fences divide humanity from the “Others,” the flames don’t just burn, they bind.
