From Ash: The Gift, the Grieving

Enemies to Lovers, Romance Fantasy (From Dimensions, Book 1)

De: Cassandra Cielo

Narrado por: Amy Stricker

Two kingdoms at war. A girl caught in the middle. Torn between two brothers, full of secrets and a deal that threatens to get her killed, Rina —a seventeen-year-old with the "gift"— has to decide what answers she is willing to die for.

All Rina wanted was to be accepted to T.R.E, but holding the acceptance letter was the last thing she ever thought would happen. Suddenly her dream of becoming a commander in the Shamar army wasn't so impossible.

Though ridiculed and ostracized all her life for being a Golanite —the enemy— none of that prepared her for Rei, the golden boy of campus with a chip on his shoulder that could cut glass. Determined to have nothing to do with him or his brother, Tae, Rina tries to keep her head down and focus on her goals, but trouble seems to follow her every move and before she knows it she is already in too deep.

Rina is left standing on the edge of a much bigger plan, one that could turn the tide of the war, but in the end is it love, friendship, or trust that will turn the tide of her heart.

Get ready for an YA fantasy, filled with romance and thrilling mysteries, in From Ash, the first book in a three book series.

Cozy, flirty, clean suspense with a unique magic system!

The characters had depth, several mysteries to unravel in future books, the world and magic system are unique and interesting, the romance seems like a flirty triangle is forming, I would say level 1 spice, you still squeal, kick your feet, and arch your brow, but in a way where you don't feel flustered.
