Char and Ash
Judge of Mystics Saga Book 1
To the Gods, Fae and Mystic Folk, the 160 years since their armistice was a blink. A lingering wound witnessed in soldiers cursed by the Fae to bury themselves in Sacred Groves to transform into their enemies.
The demi-god son of a traitor, Caleb Mauthisen ended the Mystic War between the Realms and Faerie Courts, with his first cries, before the cursed woke up. Caleb served the Human Realm of Midgard as peacemaker, Judge and executioner long enough to see the War become genetic memory, folklore and fairytale to short-lived Humanity.
When Caleb is called to a torched Sacred Grove on the way to Dover, Ares' Kopis Industries is on scene. A Goddess's descendant and a rebellious Fae were set alight in a ritual meant to kill gods. The thief was irreverent, brash, undisciplined and in possession of a Book so dangerous it holds a powder-keg of knowledge. Proof of gods and monsters.
With divine tempers flaring, the Truce Council demands Caleb recover the stolen Book of Knowledge and punish the guilty, before peace collapses. Worried she'll be next, Caleb partners with his lover Tuija, the last of the Fae-cursed veterans, to end the threat, before she ends up char and ash.
Atmospheric and emotionally charged, Char and Ash fuses mythpunk style with contemporary mystery and slow-burn divine drama. For readers of American Gods, The City We Became, and The Gilded Wolves, it's a story about inheritance, secrecy, and the cost of keeping peace when gods are watching and there's traitors in the room.
