The Gilded Dominions: a Dark Romantasy

She has spent twenty years knowing exactly what everyone wants.
As Sovereign of Auranthis, Vaelith Ashara can feel every desire before a word is spoken—ambition, hunger, betrayal. No one lies to her. No one surprises her. No one escapes her reach.
Until the architect from the lowest city… who feels nothing at all.
Cassiel Voss has spent his life holding broken cities together with his hands. When the foundations of the richest city in the Dominions begin to fail, he is summoned to save a place he has every reason to despise.
Three million lives hang above the cloud-sea.
And Vaelith Ashara is the last person he wants to trust.
It should be a simple transaction:
Fix the foundations. Save the city. Leave.
But Auranthis is dying for a reason.
Someone is poisoning the ancient structures that hold the Dominions aloft—and the closer Cassiel gets to the truth, the more dangerous the Sovereign becomes.
Because Vaelith Ashara has never met a man she cannot control.
And Cassiel Voss has never met a woman powerful enough to make him want to stay.
The Gilded Dominions is an epic fantasy romance about power, desire, and the one person who can unravel everything.
Book One of the Gilded Dominions trilogy.
