An Ember in the Ashes x Fourth Wing
FMC must marry into power during a martial tournament, but decides to compete & fight for her people
Seducing & battling, her plans unravel when she's paired with the vexing future King, falls in love, & joins the Duke's hitlist
#QuestPit #Q #RF
Pitch: TO CAGE A SHADOW is a feminist narrative crossover romantasy featuring a protagonist operating as a spy in a hostile environment and the exploration of prejudice and power like AN EMBER IN THE ASHES by Sabaa Tahir, the competition-based plot structure and political intrigue of FOURTH WING by Rebecca Yarros, and the hidden magical identity, forbidden romance, and a female protagonist discovering her true power of FROM BLOOD AND ASH by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Ferne, a shadow-wielding spy, infiltrates the annual magical martial tournament to manipulate and marry one of the three powerful men. When she finds out the tournament winner receives anything they want, she enters the competition to fight for her people’s survival. In doing so, Ferne falls in love with her loathsome, irritating tournament partner and endangers herself and everyone around her when the Duke grows suspicious of Ferne and stalks her every move.
