A Map Of Drowned Names. The Ashbound Chronicles, #2

A year after helping her homeland confront its darkest secrets, Wren Ashdown has become a symbol of a new age-one built on truth, mercy, and the courage to name what others would rather bury. Then an invitation arrives from Velmara. For generations, the proud coastal kingdom has condemned everything Wren represents. Its rulers persecute the gifted, silence dissent, and cling fiercely to the myths that hold their fragile alliance together.
Yet now the ruling Triarchy is desperate enough to summon the one woman whose very existence they once denounced. Beneath Velmara's capital lies a terrifying secret: a chained power known only as the Tame, feared for centuries and hidden behind layers of lies, political intrigue, and blood-soaked history. As assassination attempts mount and factions within the kingdom prepare for war, Wren and her husband, the warrior Cassian, are drawn into a struggle that reaches far deeper than politics.
The truth they uncover is more heartbreaking than either imagined. To save an innocent soul lost to centuries of suffering, Wren must attempt something no one has ever dared before-risking not only her own life, but the fragile hope she has spent years building. Around her, kingdoms tremble, old enemies return, and allies are forced to decide whether redemption is truly possible or merely another comforting illusion.
A Map of Drowned Names is an emotionally rich romantasy filled with political intrigue, dangerous magic, slow-burning romance, and unforgettable sacrifice. It is a story about the names history erases, the wounds nations refuse to acknowledge, and the extraordinary courage required to choose mercy when vengeance would be easier.
