The Dominions Stars & Shadows

She warned them to never underestimate her ability to shatter souls. But fools never listen. And now all they have left is one simple question: what do you call a warrior whom even the gods fear?

Fresh off the heels of Soturi graduation, Asha Raynor finds herself at a fated crossroads.

Bound by oath to serve the very Leadership that stole everything from her, she must choose: obey the system that shaped her, or burn it to the ground.

Haunted by her brother's death and the secrets buried alongside him, Asha is determined to uncover the truth. But the deeper she digs, the more dangerous her path becomes.

Enemies close in. Betrayals cut deep. And just as vengeance edges within reach, a single, shattering revelation changes everything-rewriting what she once believed about the worlds, the kingdom, the Council, and most of all... herself.

As war brews and the kingdom tightens its grip, Asha must decide what kind of warrior she wishes to become. One led by rage, or one willing to risk her heart in a world determined to break it.

The truth always has a cost. And Asha is about to discover just how steep the price can be.

Cannot Put it Down!!!

Looking for a magical fantasy trilogy that will knock your socks off… HOLY MOLY !! Dominions: Stars and Shadows was one of those books that just sticks with you. The storyline is gripping, the stakes feel real, and the character development is so well done that you can’t help but get emotionally invested. Every chapter left me wanting more.

What really stood out to me was the deeper meaning woven beneath the surface. The subtle Christian themes, like hope in the middle of darkness, sacrificial love, and the idea of a greater purpose, added so much richness without ever feeling forced. It made the story feel more grounded and meaningful.

This is the kind of book that entertains you while also quietly speaking to your heart. I’ll definitely be thinking about it for a long time and would recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy with depth and purpose.

Book Two is Absolutely Incredible!

I thought the first book had major action sequences, twists and turns, and superb character building, but this second book manages to take it up a notch! Wow, I felt like I could not rest until I finished listening! I quite literally cannot say too much, as the spoilers are numerous in Stars and Shadows, a lot of which follow unanswered questions from Ash and Embers. What I can say is that Asha and Anselem are probably my new favorite romantasy characters (and I have quite a few of those), and their love story really blossoms in this second book. Even so, the love story does not overshadow the main plot, which I really enjoy. Some of the new characters are also absolutely mesmerizing. I cannot wait to read the next book whenever it comes out!

The narrator was also fantastic! Her voice and careful pacing enhances every thrill, keeps you at the edge of your seat for every harrowing moment, gently unfolds the tender interactions between characters, and fiercely recounts battle sequences. She also has such a variety of voices and accents that I never questioned or got confused as to which character was speaking.
