I am absolutely buzzing with excitement for RC Perry's upcoming release, *From The Ashes: A Kingdom of Beasts & Starlight*! As a huge fan of romantasy, finding a new series with such a compelling premise and amazing tropes is like hitting the jackpot. Seriously, if you’re looking for your next obsession, you need to check out these Kindle pre-orders. I’ve already marked January 12, 2026, on my calendar! What really has me hooked is the promise of a truly epic slow burn. I adore stories where the tension builds perfectly, and with classic tropes like ‘one bed’ and a ‘reluctant hero,’ I know the chemistry between Remmy and Sterling is going to be off the charts. The multi-POV structure is also fantastic, allowing us to dive deep into both their minds and understand their motivations and burgeoning feelings. Remmy Silva, our brave village girl, sounds like a force to be reckoned with, navigating the fearsome Region of Beasts to save everything she holds dear. I love a heroine who faces monsters with fire in her eyes and doesn’t back down! Then there's Sterling, the tortured fae prince. My heart already aches for him, having been abused and betrayed. He’s described as a powerless fae locked in a prison, waiting for a savior – and I have a feeling Remmy might just be that strong woman. The idea of him rising to claim his destiny, born in chains but destined for greatness, is just so captivating. It’s the kind of character arc that makes you root for them every step of the way. And can we talk about Sterling as a potential book boyfriend? The snippets I've seen paint a picture of a man who is fiercely protective and would quite literally burn down the entire realm to save her. He's a highly skilled warrior, with magic, tattoos, muscles, and scars that hint at his complex past and the battles he’s endured. Imagine a hero who kisses her like the stars are falling, would die to protect her, and even gives her a nickname that makes her toes curl! That’s the kind of swoon-worthy romance I crave. This book promises all that emotional depth, yearning, and intense connection without needing explicit spice, which honestly, makes the 'all the swoon' even more potent and impactful. The world-building sounds incredible too, with the fate of Valeria hanging in the balance. A kingdom in crisis, a starving village girl, and a haunted prince – it’s the perfect recipe for a gripping fantasy adventure that will keep you turning pages. Knowing this is the first in The Valerian Chronicles series, I'm already anticipating a long, immersive journey into this world. Don’t miss your chance to hop on this ride and pre-order From The Ashes now. Trust me, you won't want to miss out on Remmy and Sterling's story!
