Burned Cinder
by Jagger Cole
2022
Seven years after Noel Ransom wrecked her life, Ella comes back looking for revenge. Instead, she is pulled into a dark marriage where hate, lust, and old secrets start blurring fast.
Series background & context
Cinder is a two-book dark romance duet inside Jagger Cole’s larger Kings & Villains world. It begins with Burned Cinder and finishes with Empire of Ash, so this is one place where order matters.
The central pull is revenge, marriage, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Noel Ransom is the dangerous man at the center of the storm, and Ella is the woman tied to him by pain, history, and a connection neither of them can make clean.
This is not a light fairy-tale retelling. The Cinder angle is there in the bones, but Cole turns it into a dark contemporary romance about power, control, old damage, and the blurry line between hate and want.
Read Burned Cinder first. It sets up the conflict, the forced marriage, and the emotional damage between Noel and Ella. Empire of Ash continues that same couple’s story and brings the duet to its ending.
