Mark Ashbourne

Is an incurable believer in stories that set the heart on fire.

He writes Romantasy with slow-building desire, intense chemistry, and high-octane action where dragons roar and heroes rise.

When he’s not writing, he’s exploring myth, discovering new places, or spending time with his family.

He loves connecting with readers who want their love stories tender, their battles explosive, and their worlds full of wonder.

Author’s Commentaries

Power fascinates me because it is never merely strength—it is always a relationship.

A ruler only rules if others believe in that authority. A soldier only commands if loyalty is freely—or fearfully—given.

Even magic itself, in this world of dragons and Wells, demands connection:

A dragon’s power flows only when paired with a rider willing to bear the weight of it.

In the Obsidian Covenant Saga, power is not a throne or a title. It is a responsibility. Every character must answer the same question:

“What will you destroy to hold control?”
“What will you sacrifice to deserve it?”

The Dominion clings to power through domination.
The Exiles fight for power through unity.

Anya and Xavian discover that true power is neither conquest nor rebellion —
But choosing another person, even when the world tells you not to.

Because the greatest strength is not the ability to fight alone…
But the courage to fight for someone.

On Love

Love, like fire, can warm or ruin—but it cannot exist without vulnerability.

In a world of war, betrayal, and impossible magic, Anya and Xavian are forced to confront a terrifying truth:

Love is the one force that does not negotiate.
It demands everything.

Their bond doesn’t blossom in safety—it is born on the edge of death, forged in sacrifice, in arguments, in the unbearable fear of losing what you barely dared to claim.
