🔥 Crowned in Ash Is Here – Burn the Past. Claim the Future.

Ruthie Clark — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Today’s the day, babes.

After months of blood, scales, and tears, Crowned in Ash is finally out in the wild—and if you thought Belle’s Revelation went hard, buckle up. This one claws deeper.

Because Eva Thorne? She’s done running.

Done obeying.

Done surviving in silence.

Now she’s rising—from the wreckage of her past, from the ashes of the Order, and from the fire of everything she was never meant to become.

This is a book about choosing yourself. And burning down everything that says you can’t.

What to expect in Crowned in Ash?

🔥 A blood-soaked showdown in Berlin

🔥 A child that may or may not exist—and the lie that breaks everything

🔥 A dragon prince who’d burn the world to protect his mate

🔥 A mate-bond ritual that will leave you breathless (and possibly blushing)

🔥 An Order stronghold buried in Moscow—and a trap no one walks out of clean

This is Eva’s book—her reckoning, her rise, and her recklessly vulnerable war cry.

She was born to be a weapon.

But now?

She chooses who to fight for.

For my fellow trope goblins:

✨ Fated Mates
🗡️ Former Assassin × Loyal Alpha Protector
🧬 Secret Child (or is it?)
❄️ Ice Queen Reclaims Her Fire
💥 Found Family with Bite
🔥 “Touch her and die” energy
🧨 One Ritual. One Choice. One hell of a night.
💔 Redemption That Hurts So Good

And yes, because I know you're wondering:
This is a solid 5/5 on the spicy scale.
Tender? Yes.
Emotional? Constantly.
Graphic enough to fog up your Kindle? Also yes.
Reader Buzz So Far:

"Crowned in Ash left claw marks on my soul. And I liked it." — ARC Reader Who May Never Emotionally Recover

"Eva is the most powerful, most broken, most beautifully dangerous heroine I’ve ever read." — Another Reviewer Who Deserves Therapy

"I highlighted so many quotes I think I accidentally wrote a second book." — Literally someone named Sasha

Where to grab it:

📚 Get Crowned in Ash now — available in Kindle Unlimited and paperback!
Or join my Ream for early peeks at Book 3 (yes, it's already in the works) and exclusive spicy bonus content you definitely shouldn't read at work.
What's next?

Eva’s story isn’t over. Now she has to help her sister. The Order’s deadliest secrets haven’t all been uncovered. And the 300 sleeping dragons? Oh, honey. They’re waking soon.

But tonight?

Tonight we celebrate freedom. And flame. And the kind of love that refuses to let you break.

With fire and heart,
Ruthie 💋

Belle's Revelation is Complete! 🔥

Ruthie Clark — Sat, 9 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Posted: [August 9, 2025] | Category: Writing Updates

I can hardly believe I'm typing these words, but Belle's Revelation is officially FINISHED!

After months of late-night writing sessions, countless cups of coffee, and getting completely lost in Belle and Malrik's world, their story is finally ready to meet readers. And honestly? I'm a little emotional about it.

The Journey to "The End"

This book has been a labor of love in every sense of the phrase. What started as a simple Beauty and the Beast retelling evolved into something so much deeper—a story about reincarnated love, family trauma and healing, finding your true self, and the kind of passion that transcends death itself.

I've poured everything into Belle's journey from confused nurse to dragon queen, and Malrik's centuries-long wait for his mate's return. Their story tackles some heavy themes—identity, loss, the weight of past lives—but at its core, it's about love in all its forms. Romantic love, family love, and perhaps most importantly, learning to love yourself exactly as you are.

What Readers Can Expect

Belle's Revelation is definitely my darkest work yet, and I'm not sorry about it. This book features:

A dragon king with serious control issues who's been mourning for centuries
Reincarnated fated mates discovering each other across lifetimes
BDSM dynamics that reflect soul-deep bonding rather than just kink
A sentient castle that basically becomes a matchmaker
Family reunification after trauma (no spoilers, but have tissues ready)
Steamy scenes that serve the emotional journey

This isn't a gentle romance. It's fire and claiming and the kind of love that burns so bright it rewrites your DNA. If you're looking for sweet and safe, this probably isn't for you. But if you want to fall into a world where dragons are real and love conquers death... welcome home.

The ARC Process

I'm currently selecting ARC (Advance Reader Copy) readers from my newsletter subscribers. If you missed that email but are interested in reading early, drop me a line! I'm looking for readers who love dark paranormal romance and can leave honest reviews.

What I need from ARC readers:

A love for dark, steamy paranormal romance
Ability to leave a review within 2 weeks
Understanding that this book contains mature themes and explicit content

What's Next?

While I'm incredibly proud of Belle's story, I'm already getting demanding letters from Eva (Malrik's daughter turned dragon hunter) about when her book is coming. Eva's Salvation is next on my writing schedule, and let me tell you—Andreas has been very patient waiting for his mate to be ready for him.

I'm also working on some exciting bonus content for my Ream subscribers, including character backstories and maybe some scenes that were too spicy even for this book (yes, that's possible).

A Massive Thank You

To everyone who's followed this journey—from the first chapter I posted on Ream to the newsletter subscribers who've been cheering me on—THANK YOU. Writing can be a lonely process, but your enthusiasm and support have kept me going through every late-night writing session and revision marathon.

Special thanks to my Ream subscribers who've been getting chapters as I write them. Your comments, theories, and general excitement have been fuel for my writer's soul.

Mark Your Calendars

Belle's Revelation will be available everywhere ebooks are sold starting August 15, 2025. I'll be sharing more details about preorders, release events, and all the fun stuff that comes with a book launch very soon!

In the meantime, if you want to stay updated on all things Dragon Kings, make sure you're subscribed to my newsletter. That's where all the good stuff happens first—early access, bonus content, and probably way too many pictures of my research materials (aka hot dragon men).

Ruthie Clark — Mon, 7 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Hello, my wickedly delightful readers!

The wait is finally over—I’m thrilled to unveil the deliciously dark and sensually sinister cover for my upcoming book, Belle's Revelation, Book #3 in the Dark Fairytales series.

Sinful slow burns that do not stay slow.

🔥 NSFW EXCERPT (Only on Ream): Red's Disenchantment - A note from Red, just for you.

Ruthie Clark — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Oh, my sweet curious reader,

Last night was... unholy.

I should feel shame. I should feel ruined. I should be hiding beneath the covers and praying for forgiveness from whatever god watches little girls wander into wolves’ dens. But instead, I’m here writing to you—legs still trembling, thighs marked with his claim, lips swollen from too many kisses that felt more like possession than affection.

He called me Red, but he said it like a growl, like he wanted to eat the name off my tongue every time I moaned it back at him. And trust me, I did. Over and over. The forest still echoes with the way he took me—hard, hungry, like my body was the only meal he’d waited centuries to devour.

He was teeth and claws and heat against my skin. And I? I was the foolish little thing who followed the scent of danger and got exactly what she begged for.

But here’s the worst part.

I liked it. Every filthy second of it. The way he tied my wrists with his belt, the way he whispered filthy promises into my ear with his hand around my throat, the way he made me beg just to come.

And when I thought he was done—when my body was boneless and my voice hoarse—he leaned in, mouth brushing mine, and whispered, “You’re mine now, little Red. Don’t even think of running.”

So I didn’t.

I won’t.

And if you’re smart, you won’t either. There’s more to come. Much more. If you think one night in the woods with the Wolf was enough... you’re in for a delicious surprise.

Keep your laces loose and your candles lit, darling. You’ll want to see what happens next.

—Red 🔥🐺

P.S. He said next time, he’s not holding back. You shouldn’t either. Let’s just say… this fairytale’s only getting darker.

I should’ve known the second he told me to run, that he didn’t mean for me to get away.

👀 Want the rest of this scene? It gets rougher. Dirtier. Wilder.

Only on [Ream]—where Red’s real surrender begins.

✒️ Come find me in the forest, darling. He’s still fucking me there.

🔥 Welcome to the Firehouse After Dark: Bonus Content for Snow's Story 🔥

Ruthie Clark — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

If you thought Snow's Firemen ended with seven satisfied firemen and a happily-ever-after... oh honey, we’re just getting started.

You asked for more—more heat, more heart, more deliciously dominant men—and I delivered. On Ream and Inkitt, you’ll find exclusive, expanded chapters of Snow’s story that were too hot for KU (and let’s be honest, KU already blushed a little).

What’s waiting for you in the bonus scenes?

💋 That morning-after awkwardness (when she realizes she has to work with all seven men… and can’t sit comfortably)

🛏️ Pillow talk that turns into something much dirtier

🔥 The Charlie chapter you didn’t know you needed (think candlelight, classical music, and a man who worships with every stroke)

💥 And yes—Felix has something to say when a certain uninvited admirer crosses the line...

These aren’t deleted scenes. They’re new. Deeper. Filthier. And so much more personal.

💥 Why should you follow Snow’s story beyond the book?

Because on Ream and Inkitt, you get:

🖤 Weekly exclusive content drops

🎉 Spicy readathons, polls, and giveaways

👀 Behind-the-scenes access—including the ability to vote on scenes and help me write them

✨ And soon: all-new books like Belle’s Revelation and Tink’s Lost Boys (both dark reverse harems you are not ready for)

👉 Where to find the bonus scenes:

📚 Read Snow’s Bonus Content on Ream

📱 Grab the Inkitt edition with extras

Because sharing seven firemen is just the beginning...

Ready to play with fire?

Author Update: I’m on Inkitt! 🖤

Ruthie Clark — Mon, 2 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Hey, lovely readers!

I’ve got a fun little announcement—I've officially joined Inkitt! If you’re not familiar, Inkitt is a reader-friendly platform where you can follow authors, read serialized chapters as they’re released, and get early access to books before they’re finalized for publication.

Why am I there? Two reasons:

I wanted a space to share early drafts and works-in-progress with readers who love the raw, unfiltered version of a story.
Let’s be honest… I’m impatient. When something’s ready to tease, I want you to see it first.

So if you’re curious what I’m working on next (hello, dragon-shifter Beauty & the Beast or my dirty, dangerous Three Little Pigs billionaire brat story), that’s where you’ll catch early chapters and sneak peeks.

You can follow me here: https://www.inkitt.com/RuthieClarkAuthor

As always, your support means the world. Whether you're reading, reviewing, or just quietly cheering me on—you’re the reason I do this. Now let’s get back to breaking hearts and rewriting fairytales, shall we?

With love and wicked twists,

Ruthie Clark 💋

Guess Who's waiting in the wings?

Ruthie Clark — Sat, 17 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

That’s right—Belle’s Revelation is almost ready to steal the spotlight. She’s bold, bruised, and about to discover that the beast isn’t always the one who growls.

I’ve been elbows-deep in rewrites, steam-level edits, and a few scandalous surprises I didn’t see coming (thanks, Belle). This beauty has a mind of her own—and she’s not waiting for anyone’s permission to bloom.

✨ Expect heat.

✨ Expect drama.

✨ Expect a revelation you won’t see coming.

Belle’s Revelation is coming in June, and let’s just say… this is not your childhood fairytale.

Stay tuned, my wicked readers. Preorder links and sneak peeks are coming soon, and trust me—you’re going to want to be there when the curtain rises.

— Ruthie 💄🔥
