Ember: A Free eBook by Bettie Sharpe

Ember has finished its run on The Serial at Dionne Galace's site. Read all ten chapters online from start to finish, below, or download the PDF eBook.

Some readers have asked about print copies, so I've loaded the file at Lulu.com. Click here to order a paperback book with a high-resolution, color version of the cover (below). Unfortunately, the print book isn't free. I'm not making any money off it, but you'll have to pay Lulu for printing and shipping.

Thanks for reading. :o)

It’s based on a fairytale, but it isn’t for kids.

Everyone loves Prince Charming. They have to—he’s cursed. Every man must respect him. Every woman must desire him. One look, and all is lost.

Ember would rather carve out a piece of her soul than be enslaved by passions not her own. She turns to the dark arts to save her heart and becomes the one woman in the kingdom able to resist the Prince’s Charm.

Poor girl. If Ember had spent less time studying magic and more time studying human nature, she might have guessed that a man who gets everything and everyone he wants will come to want the one woman he cannot have.

Charm is a curse. Love is a fire. This story is no fairytale.
