Alchemist. Poisoner. Storm wielder.


Epic, sizzling enemies-to-lovers romantasy, set in a world of dark magic, assassins and war, Iron & Embers by Helen Scheuerer is perfect for fans of The Witcher and The Bridge Kingdom.

Wren Embervale, alchemist turned assassin, finds solace in only one thing: seeking vengeance for the death of her friends from wars past. But when she is offered a place at the ancient alchemy academy of Drevenor, she must claim her spot by conquering the Gauntlet – a gruelling series of deadly trials that could cost her her sanity or her life.

Yet the biggest threat of all might come from the man assigned to protect her – Torj Elderbrock, the silver-haired war hero who has hated her since she assassinated his last charge.

Their shared history ignites a simmering tension that threatens to consume them both. With peace between the kingdoms as fragile as ever, and enemies lurking around every corner, Wren will discover whether love can truly heal all wounds – or if it is in fact the most lethal poison of all . . .

With over 7,000 five-star reviews on Goodreads, Iron & Embers by Helen Scheuerer is the breathtaking first instalment in the Ashes of Thezmarr series. Continue Wren and Torj's story in Thorns & Fire.
