From the Ashes
Genre: Fantasy/ Fae
Publication Date: January 20th, 2022
Queen Aurora and King Jarvok are
finding that there is a thin line between love, hate, and Oblivion.
The war between the Court of Light and Dark
has finally ended, and peace reigns. The Court of Light continued advising the
human monarchs of Europe while the Court of Dark kept to themselves,
intervening only to act as the humans Dark Gods and Goddesses.
The two Courts were both upholding their respective duties as written by the
Treaty of Bodhicitta, until Queen Mary the first of England reneges on a
Changeling contract with the Court of Light. This unfortunate act puts events
in motion which led to the last Fire Drake, Bishop Awynn, making the ultimate
sacrifice. Awynn loses his light while saving The Dark Fae King during a tense
standoff with Queen Aurora.
Queen Aurora swears revenge upon Mary for Awynn’s death and issues the same
warning she gave her Father, King Henry the Eighth, so many years ago. However,
King Jarvok had his own point of view on Queen Aurora’s vengeance and pays
Aurora a visit to deliver his critique of her technique, leading to a
knock-down drag-out fight between the two Fae monarchs.
Both Leaders refuse to bow even if it
means certain Oblivion…

Danielle M. Orsino is a fantasy novelist whose lifelong vision is to
create whimsical realms that her readers can escape. Her compelling
word-weaving pays homage to a multitude of personal muses, from Chris Claremont
and George Pérez (both famous comic book writers) to Anne Rice and Wonder
Woman.
The creative spark of storytelling has been
with Danielle ever since she was a child, but martial arts and her nursing
career took center stage into adulthood. Then, on a day like any other, it was
reignited during the most unexpected of moments: while treating one of her
patients. Seeing that they longed for a distraction during their arduous
treatments, the floodgates of inspiration soon burst forth. So, Danielle took
it upon herself to tell them a story; a fantastical narrative that would leave
the confines of that IV room’s walls and land upon a page. Before she knew it,
what started as an imaginative tale to pass the time, turned into a book,
followed by an entire series: The Birth of Fae. This
awe-inspiring series includes Locked out of Heaven (Book One), Thine
Eyes of Mercy (Book Two), and From The Ashes (Book Three), all
of which are published by 4 Horsemen Publications, Inc. And
with an unwavering passion for cosplay and comics, it was a unanimous decision
to place her on the cover of each book in all her Fae cosplay glory. The
Birth of Fae also features Los, an affable chameleon dragon inspired
by her fun-loving Yorkie named Carlos.
When writing wasn’t at the forefront of her
mind, Danielle was a successful Martial Artist. Some of her achievements
include “1999 World Martial Arts Hall of Fame Inductee”, “Female Martial Artist
of the Year”, “WKA World Champion Silver Medalist 2008”, and numerous more. She
has also garnered hundreds of martial art tournament wins, various other
national and world titles, and features on big-name channels like TLC and CBS.
She even had the rare opportunity to perform for former U.S. President Bill
Clinton and collaborate alongside Vincent Lyn and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
From there, she pursued her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Exercise
Science, and she is now a Licensed Practical Nurse who focuses on Lyme disease
research.
This “New Queen of the Fae’s” unmatched
world-building and masterful Fae-origin retellings have led to an ever-growing
queendom of “Fae-natics”. To begin embarking upon a quest in an epic world
unlike any other, visit Danielle M. Orsino’s official website at http://www.BirthOfTheFae.com. You can also connect with her on Instagram

“After summoning this world into existence through an imaginative force of will, Danielle has scoured every inch of the landscape several times over. Critics often praise a story’s world-building by saying that it feels “lived in.” Well, the world of the Fae certainly seems like that because Danielle herself has happily lived there for years as she worked to put all of this together… My favorite part of this story is that it is gloriously depicted in vibrant images.” -Clete Barrett Smith, New York Times Bestselling Author of If We Were Giants, Aliens on Vacation series, and Magic Delivery
