Ghosts In The Ash
For five hundred years, the Reign of Talons has been absolute. Dragons are gods. Humans are their cattle. Through the ritual of the Touch, a chosen few are Ignited with a sliver of the dragons' power. All others are deemed Dull-a harvest of souls, culled monthly in the Feast of Flesh to feed the dragons' magical Spire.
The Law is simple: Only the Touched may rule. Only the Worthy may receive the Gift. All Others Feed the Fire.
But the Law is built on a lie.
Luca is the Roar, an un-Touched boy with the raw power of creation screaming in his veins-a power he can barely control, one that threatens to burn him to ash from the inside out. Lira is the Silence, a girl who sees the threads of magic that bind their broken world and possesses the chilling ability to unmake them. Together, they are a weapon the world has no name for.
When their desperate escape from the sacrificial pyres accidentally brings a long-imprisoned heretic god back into the world, their flight for survival ignites a firestorm. Caught between two warring dragons-the tyrannical King Thundrakar, who will burn his own city to erase their existence, and the vengeful ghost Vaelstrasz, who sees them as instruments for his own apocalyptic revenge-Lira and Luca become the epicentre of a draconic civil war that rips the sky apart.
As alliances shatter and the world drowns in an inferno, a desperate ark of survivors-disgraced soldiers, broken nobles, and furious commoners-huddles in the dark, betting their last hope on two impossible children. They soon learn the greatest deception is not that dragons rule, but why. The magic was never a gift to be given; it was a birthright that was stolen.
He is the fire. She is the rudder. And together, they will either forge a new dawn or become the final embers in the ash.
Embers In The Ash is the first book in a gripping new epic fantasy series perfect for fans of grim political intrigue, cataclysmic magic, and morally complex characters. It is a story about the lies that build empires, the truths that shatter them, and the quiet, defiant courage of those who were never meant to have a voice.
