But when he finds Lyra, nothing is as it should be. Her song awakens the buried language of creation, and the gates between worlds begin to tremble.As heaven and reflection collapse into one, Alex must choose between duty and the fragile, impossible connection that could redeem him-or destroy everything that still remembers light.
Ashes of the Fallen is the first book in The Ember Chronicles, a lyrical fantasy of fire, memory, and the spaces between salvation and ruin.
