The Ember Throne
In a world where the stars are dying, only one soul can bring them home.
Kael Ashborne is nineteen years old, broke, and living off the corpses of dead stars in the grey wastelands known as the Ashlands. He has no magic, no destiny, and three sensible rules for staying alive.
Then he picks up a star-shard with his bare hands - and everything changes.
The silver veins beneath his skin begin to glow. A voice speaks from inside the crystal: "Found you at last." And within hours, thirty imperial soldiers are marching through his city looking specifically for him.
Kael is an Ashwalker - the rarest soul alive, born from an ancient bloodline with the power to walk between the living world and the Shadow Realm where the dead linger. For two hundred years, an immortal tyrant called the Voidking has been extinguishing the world's stars one by one, feeding their energy into a machine that will make him untouchable forever. Eighty-eight stars. That is all he needs to become a god.
And an Ashwalker on the Ember Throne is the only thing that can stop him.
Hunted across a dying continent, Kael must master abilities he barely understands, forge alliances with an exiled court mage, a professional thief with old grief, and the last living Golem - a four-hundred-year-old stone guardian who has been waiting for exactly this moment. Together they must reach the Star-Summit and the ancient throne at its peak before the final star goes dark and the world fades into permanent grey.
The Ember Throne is an epic fantasy novel of loss, light, and the stubborn courage of ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances. Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Robin Hobb, and Patrick Rothfuss.
