Empire of Ash

A Passionate Paranormal Romance with Young Adult Appeal (God of Secrets, Book 1)

By: L. R. W. Lee

Narrated by: Sarah Kisko

She was never meant to meet him.

Pellucid Rose planned to spend her life studying history until a buried discovery opens a world she can’t turn away from.

And then he appears.

A stranger who treats her like she already belongs in a story she doesn’t yet understand, and keeps mysteriously crossing her path.

He is dangerous. Secretive. Connected to something far older than the ruins she uncovered.

The more time she spends with him, the more the line between fear and something deeper begins to blur.

And in a world shaped by gods and the secrets they guard, falling in love may be the most dangerous choice of all.

Empire of Ash is the first book in the enthralling God of Secrets fantasy romance series. If you love discovering little known Greek gods, you’ll enjoy the mystery that is Harpocrates, Greek god of secrets, by USA Today Bestselling author L. R. W. Lee.

Critic reviews

"A strong-willed and feisty woman is thrown into a new world, creating a comedic adventure that will soon become your next favorite read. The snark is charming and funny while also making the heroine instantly likable. Well worth the ride, Empire of Ash is a brilliant tapestry of adventure, romance, and mythology." - L. Konkel, Readers' Favorite

Love it

I absolutely love this series. The author did such a great job writing this book and narrator did an amazing job bringing the character to life. I honestly was hooked from the start of this book till I finished it and would highly recommend this book to be read

Wonderful Story

The characters really came to life due to excellent Narrator's! The story held my attention and curiosity. I enjoyed the affection the H and h developing between them. Chuckling incidents between them... hilarious. looking forward to Book 2!

Absolutely Wonderful Listen/ Read!!

I have Never read or listened to this author before, got the book on Audible and listened to it there. Narrator was Excellent and brought the storyline to life. I found this Author's sense of humor so good, just a hoot!! The inner monologue Pell has throughout the book made me laugh more times then I can say. Pell the Main Character is quite a Character and she has the same deep streak of Curiositie as myself which just made me laugh all the more.
Highly recommended this Story and really want to listen to the 2nd book in this Series.

Better than Baklava

Empire of Ash (God of Secrets #1) is better than baklava or Mythos beer.

L. R. W. Lee has buried some magical artifacts into this story, and I'm thrilled to have started to unearth them. Harpoc, Mister Ancient Sexy Bod God of Secrets, and Pellucid Rose make a dynamic pair. I'm ready to dig into the full site and discover the rest of the treasures yet to come.

If you can, listen to the audio version. The storyline is gold, but the silver-lining that makes the main female character shine is the voice of Narrator Sarah Kisko. She really breathes life into Pell.

Notable Quote:
'I look down, busying myself zipping my own jacket. Pugh, I stink. He wrinkles his nose, and I laugh. But the next thing I know, the smell of jasmine replaces puke.
“Much better,” he says.
I don’t disagree.'
