HORSEMAN – Book II: Ashes of Constant
Jessica escaped the nightmare that bound her body.
But her mind is no longer her own.
The deeper she remembers, the closer the world gets to breaking.
Shadows whisper in languages she’s never learned. Memories bleed through centuries she never lived. With every vision, a buried truth claws closer to the surface: her past lives are awakening, and they all lead back to him.
James—the only Horseman—feels the fracture widening inside himself. The power he buried is rising, driven by something older, darker, and hungry. If he loses control, the world will burn. If he leaves Jessica, she will be consumed by the centuries of souls bound to her.
Together, they hunt answers buried beneath ancient wars, celestial betrayal, and a prophecy that was never meant to be fulfilled. But Markus—more powerful and more ruthless than ever—will do anything to claim what Jessica carries, and to unleash the Horseman the world has already begun to fear.
As memories ignite and old lives return, Jessica and James must confront who they were… and the terrifying future waiting if they fail.
ASHES OF CONSTANT is an epic dark fantasy thriller infused with gothic romance, reincarnation, and mythic power—where love becomes a weapon, and salvation has a cost.
Tropes: reincarnated past lives, fated bond, prophecy, angels and monsters, protector who is also the danger, slow-burn intensity, high-stakes obsession, ancient war resurfacing.
Content notes: graphic violence, psychological terror, cruelty.
(Spice level: higher than Book I, still story-driven.)

For fans of: Brent Weeks’ Night Angel intensity with a modern mythic edge, and Sherrilyn Kenyon’s dark, supernatural romance pull.

I love a good fantasy fiction story, especially the ones that skirt along the edges of reality. This story fits right into that category. This author has managed to craft a storyline in the fantasy genre that does not require pages or chapters of world-building that must be slogged through to get a good understanding of the setting of the story. The story gets right to the main line and themes, and while the thoughts of living in a world where your memories and very being can be extracted by...

“This book completely pulled me in from the first few chapters. The writing is cinematic, dark, and incredibly immersive — every scene feels vivid and emotionally intense.

Jessica’s suffering and transformation had me hooked, and the shift into Anippe’s story during the plague in Egypt was hauntingly beautiful. Azyrial is easily one of the most compelling...
