The Karyon Chronicles Book One Throne of Ashes

By Frederick Barnes

A hundred years ago, Crown Prince Varak watched his star-born empire die.

The Voidlords tore open the sky, unmade billions, and cursed him to live forever as a mere shadow of his former self. Now the last prince of Karyon walks the galaxy as a weapon. Nearly immortal, Still broken and Now hunting the only thing that might let him rewrite a single doomed day: the seven Relics of Creation.

The first one, calls from a primitive backwater world.

Named Earth.

When Varak's war-scarred ship tears through reality and crashes into the northern wilderness, every psychic and shaman on the planet feels it. Among them is Dr. Mira Chen, a young scientist/necromancer, who talks to the dead and sees the layers of reality most people never even dream of.

He needs her Sight to find the Relic.

She needs his power to stop the nightmares his arrival has awakened.

Together, a cursed alien prince and a stubborn ghost-speaker. Descend into Architect temples, face god-forged Guardians and navigate governments eager to weaponize powers they barely understand. But every Relic they claim sends a new flare into the dark and out there, the Voidlords are watching.

If Varak gathers all seven, he might resurrect a fallen empire.

Or burn Earth to a cinder as just another stepping stone on his road to vengeance.
