I have always felt things too deeply.

Colors slip from me when emotions get too loud ? sunlight gold when I'm happy, storm-blue when I'm hurt, rose and amber and silver spilling into the air before I can hide them again. Most people at Daric Academy find it strange.

Rowan Hayes never does.

With him, I don't feel like too much.
I feel seen.

What starts as friendship becomes something softer. Closer. Late nights in the library. Quiet conversations that linger in my chest for hours afterward. The unbearable awareness of his hand brushing mine and wanting more than I know how to ask for.

And the worst part is that Rowan looks at me like he wants it too.

Now the colors around me are changing ? brighter, clearer, impossible to misunderstand ? and for the first time in my life, I may finally be starting to understand my own heart too. And my heart has become just as impossible to control.

Emberhue is the second book in an interconnected romantasy series, where each installment follows a different couple within the same emotionally chaotic friend group.
