- Ash and Fern by S.R.B.In a kingdom scarred by betrayal and flame, one fallen knight seeks refuge in a forest that should not exist.Ronan Vale, once a knight of the royal guard, carries the weight of false oaths and a blade that can no longer serve a crown. When he wanders into the hidden druid sanctuary of Elarwyn-a living forest untouched by kings or wars-he finds more than rest beneath its branches. He finds her.Lyra, a scholar of ink and earth, has spent her life sketching the world she's too afraid to leave. Her sarcasm is sharper than Ronan's sword, her heart quieter than his ghosts. But when fate binds them within the forest's magic, wit becomes weapon, and healing becomes defiance.As the shadow of the crown closes in, Ronan and Lyra must choose between safety and truth, guilt and forgiveness, duty and love.Because even among ashes, something green can still take root.Ash and Fern is a sweeping fantasy about redemption, resilience, and the kind of love that grows-slowly, stubbornly-in the ruins.
