THE ASHEN OATH
They took our homes. They erased our names. They forgot that ash is just wood waiting to burn again.
When the merciless Iron Dominion invades the quiet border village of Oakhaven, Kael's world is reduced to blood and cinder. Armed only with his father's blacksmith hammer and a burning vow for vengeance, he flees into the cold expanse of the Whispering Mountains alongside a scattered group of survivors.
Among them is Lyra, a sharp, cold-eyed former Imperial Captain carrying secrets dangerous enough to ignite a war, and Torren, an old rebel leader who sees in Kael not just a blacksmith, but a rallying cry for a broken continent.
Hunted through ancient woods by Captain Vane-a ruthless commander who turns provinces to dust-Kael must forge a fractured group of miners, outlaws, and deserters into an unstoppable resistance. But taking back their freedom means breaching impossible fortresses, surviving deadly betrayals, and facing down an empire that has never known defeat.
In a realm where steel rules and kings demand silence, a single song is rising from the dark:
"No more slaves to any king."
