Making Ash of Errors | Dark Fantasy Stand Alone Novel

A trans woman with a mischievous fire elemental thinks she is the only one bonded with such a creature until she becomes caught between opposing secret societies.

Talented trans singer Krissy Harlow dreams of headlining in Vegas, but she has a secret: Ember, a fiery fox who lives in her aura. Though uncertain exactly what he is, she knows he’s not imaginary or an outgrowth of childhood trauma—he can see under lottery scratch-off film, a talent that nicely supplements her otherwise crappy income.

Under murky circumstances, bartender Demo escaped the Dominati, one of two secret societies that govern who gets bonded with elementals. Ever since, he’s moved from city to city, not daring to use the magic they taught him to wield lest they come and reclaim him. 

Demo is working at the Encantada when Krissy’s audition is disrupted by thugs. Realizing the goons are commanded by the Dominati, Demo is forced to use magic to save himself and the innocent people at the bar, but foiling this attack means his old rival will hunt him down.

Both Krissy and Demo feel trapped on the edge of society, never getting to fully engage as neither can truly trust anyone, but they’ll both have to face their pasts as they uncover the true motives of these secret societies and their common enemy, a new rogue group led by a man who calls himself the Helltrigger.
