Ashes of the Pyre

By Kerry Stinnet

Ashes of the Pyre is the third installment in the epic fantasy series, The Espa Chronicle, which chronicles the rise and fall of the Raakonian Empire, the struggles of the Val E Naa wastes, and the intrigues of the High Elven Kingdom.

The story begins amidst a devastating war between two nations. Interlocking characters fight for survival, meaning, and a brighter future in a harsh and desolate land. Politics, religion, honor, and magic intertwine, creating a complex tapestry of conflict and struggle.

In the land of Bulvi, the common people suffer under oppressive traditions and the horrors of invasion. Meanwhile, in the Raakonian Empire, great progress coexists with political intrigue and deep-rooted corruption.

As the war in the south intensifies, General Ward Holstamp Tomas's army carves a bloody path through the wastes. Our protagonists seek a powerful artifact to aid their people, facing numerous challenges along the way. Elise grows increasingly frustrated and seeks allies to counter the general's madness.

The Dragon Emperor, at great personal cost, devises a plan to curb his rogue general's glory-seeking ambitions. His brother, meanwhile, strives to bridge the growing divide within the empire. While the Raakonian nobles plot in the background, the Val E Naa people desperately cling to survival.
