Summary

Dangerous magic, a dark god, and ancient secrets.

Archaeologist Pellucid Rose discovers THE find of the century when an earthquake hits her Mycenae, Greece dig. But before she can claim it, a dark, dangerous, and very sexy stranger steps from a swirl of shadows claiming she's loosed a sphinx on the world by translating an ancient secret on one of the scrolls.

What's more, he insists Secret Magic requires her to go with him to capture the ferocious creature.

Against better judgment, Pell teams up with the hot stranger to protect the world from her mistake only to discover more than she bargained for about Secret magic and the influence it has on Earth. But worse, she discovers that this ancient god has dangerous secrets of his own that could destroy the world, and only she has what it takes to stop him.

Empire of Ash is the first book in the enthralling God of Secrets paranormal 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. It's a slow-burn paranormal romance with potent sorcery, destined lovers, and mythical intrigue.

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

Interesting

This story does have some action, as Pell must help Harpoc in fixing those she inadvertently released when reading their secrets aloud. Pell’s inner monologue offers some comedic moments and does feel like a separate person at times. A nice twist on some mythology. Sarah does an excellent job with the narrative and makes this book a pleasure to listen to.

Entertaining fun fantasy

I am not really the target audience for this book but i really enjoyed it. Pellucid really gets into trouble when she reads an ancient scroll releasing a Sphinx. Now she has to deal with it and with an infuriating stranger who appears from nowhere. This is a fun slow burn romance with great characters. Loved Pel with her internal voice and attitude. This entertaining story has a good mix of ancient legends and modern problems. Sarah Kisko does an excellent job with the narration, nailing the characters. I look forward to listening to the next one. I received a complimentary copy of the audio and am leaving a honest voluntary review.

Excellent performance & good story

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, narrated and performed so brilliantly by Sarah Kisko. Although I imagine the target audience to be young adult, even I enjoyed the adventures that unfolded for one young archaeologist.

There were aspects that did not appeal to me as an older reader, but don't let this put anyone off. Any young adult who likes fantasy stories would enjoy this title.

I did not see the ending coming, and now I look forward to listening to book 2.

Really interesting

You know that feeling when you start a book and it turns out to be just a really fun and easy book with some really interesting twists on mythology? That is this book. I loved the characters that I met and the twists were spot on. I cant wait for more from this series and this author.

The narration was well picked for the story and I felt that the pacing was spot on for the overall tone and pacing of the book. Definite thumbs up from me.

Really enjoyed this, definitely recommend

I finished this in an embarrassingly low number of listens. Loved it and can’t wait to listen to the next one! The fantasy genre can get a bit samey and and tropes get repeated and recycled a lot, but this was so different from what I’ve read before and it worked so well.

Exhilarating

I really enjoyed listening to the first book in this series. It was wonderful. I loved Pellucid Rose. She is strong, quirky, and very relatable. The unique details and the narrator brought this book to life.
