Kingdom of Ash and Embers

For nineteen years, Lyraen Vayne has known only survival. She lives a hardscrabble life in the ruinous kingdom of Eldoria, a realm still bearing the scars of a forgotten war. Her world is one of hunger and loss, where a strange, unnerving "luck" is the only thing that sets her apart. But when a terrifying, silent army known as the Ashsworn burns her village to the ground, Lyraen is ripped from her simple existence and thrown into a current of prophecy and power she cannot control.

She is not merely a survivor. She is the last descendant of the Sunstone Queens, a lineage of immense power thought to be extinguished, and the one person the sinister Lord Vorlag wants dead.

Hunted by Vorlag's relentless agents and his chief sorcerer, the cruel Grave-Hand Malakor, Lyraen is forced to flee. Guided by a secretive guardian of the old ways and protected by her fiercely loyal friend Rhys, she must navigate a treacherous world where allies are as dangerous as enemies. From the lawless mercenary town of Barrow's Deep to the scheming port of Saltwind, Lyraen finds herself caught between forces that seek to use her, control her, or destroy her.

Looming over all is the formidable Lord Roric Valerius of Ironfell, a brilliant and ruthless leader forging a new empire from the ashes of the old. He sees Lyraen not as a lost queen, but as an uncontrolled weapon-a chaotic variable in his cold, calculated war. To Roric, she is a prize to be captured, a tool to be wielded, and her very existence is a threat to his iron-fisted version of order.

Trapped in a deadly game of manipulation, Lyraen must forge an unlikely alliance of cynical sellswords, pragmatic smugglers, and tormented soldiers. To save her friends and have any hope of reclaiming her birthright, she must master the incredible power awakening within her-a power that could be the kingdom's salvation or her own damnation. As she is betrayed, broken, and reborn, Lyraen must learn that in a kingdom of ash and embers, true strength is not just the power to burn, but the courage to rebuild.
