When the fire awakens, so too does everything buried in ash. Kael, a reluctant flame-bearer, finds himself hunted by shadows and burdened by power he cannot yet control. Alongside Seraya, Thiri, and Rakka, he must uncover the forgotten runes and challenge the Hollow Queen before her corruption consumes the last light of the world. Ashes of the First Flame begins the epic Flameborn Chronicles, a saga of fire, ruin, and hope rising from the embers.
