Five centuries ago, Rokai defied the Tsuohaing throne and stole the power of the Lysakaya. His rebellion failed, and he was entombed beneath the Utayah Mountains-his name fading into myth.
Now, quakes shake the land of Osmya, and a set of mysterious doors threatens to turn legend into truth. Zale and his mother, Efari, must uncover what lies beyond before Emperor Melchior Tsuohaing claims it for himself.
Is Rokai a monster, a savior, or simply a man condemned to die in the dark?
Rise of the Ash Guard is an epic fantasy of myth, power, and consequence-perfect for readers who crave sweeping worlds, dangerous secrets, and stories where legends refuse to stay buried.
