A Tomb of Ashen Tears is Kailee Reese Samuels’s largest and longest-running series, with eight books published between 2017 and 2023. The series begins with Salt Kissed Love and continues through Famous Last Words, Every Minute I Love You, and Diary of a Submissive. Later entries include A Dark Place, Forbidden Sins, and the two-part Talking with Ghosts.
The series title gives a sense of the emotional register: these are dark, heavy romances that deal with grief, desire, submission, and the scars people carry. The eight-book length gives Samuels room to develop her characters over a longer arc than her shorter series allow. It represents the most sustained story in her catalog.
