The Fable (The Mark of Ash)
A hundred years. A thousand lies. One legend returns.
Months after Eli Navarro woke in a hospital bed, the pull begins again - the thinning between worlds - and this time he lets it carry him back to Orvaeth. But a single year of his life was a full century of theirs. The Hollowing has risen once more. The woman he loved lived a whole life and died of old age while he was gone. And Eli is no longer a man here at all.
He is a bedtime story. A fable. "The Ash-Marked, who comes when the dark returns" - a legend scholars argue never existed. The only soul in the world who believes he is real is a young woman named Rea, mocked her entire life for insisting the story is true - and descended from the child Eli never knew he left behind.
Now the savior of a forgotten age must prove he is the hero of a tale the world outgrew a century ago, and meet the family that one accidental year gave him - before the dark finishes what the last hundred years began.
The Fable is the devastating second book of The Mark of Ash, where heroism outlives the hero and curdles into myth.
