The city is alive. The ashborn are its blood. And the maw waits beneath.
Kade carries Mara through the shifting ruins, clinging to the hope that her visions can guide them to safety. Jonas cuts a path forward with silence and steel, his scar twitching with every tremor. A handful of survivors cling to life beside them, each scarred, each desperate, each hunted.
Fire can kill the ashborn, but only when fed with blood. Every victory costs them more. Every step forward closes the city tighter around them.
They are not the first to fight this war. The bones of those who came before litter the halls of ruin, burned and broken, their warnings carved into stone. But the survivors of today may be the last.
The maw is stirring. Its hunger is endless.
To survive, they must bleed. To win, they must burn.
And to kill the ashborn is to strike at the heart of the beast itself.
Book Two of the Ashfall trilogy pushes survival into war - and leads to a truth that will change everything.
