The Court of Cinders - Book One of the Otherworld Series

Within the Realm of R'adania, no one is truly safe...

Many centuries ago, legends say that the Kingdom of Caonach was blessed by the Deities of the Otherworld, causing the two realms to live in harmony with one-another. Within this time of peace, an era of Technology and Magick was created that was thought to only be tangible within folklore. Upon hearing the talk of such power, however, the corrupt rival kingdom of Klaasile sought to obtain the power kept within the walls of Caonach, communing with the darker forces that resided within the deeper wood of the Otherworld in order to try and enslave the Coanach's Kingdom and her people.

Thus, the War of Embers had begun.

In order to have an upper-hand within the war, a secret society labeled the Court of Embers was created, comprised of a group of the most elite soldiers within Caonach, thought to have the power to commune directly with the Deities themselves.

Many years passed and at an empasse, the two Kingdoms finally came to a truce, agreeing that the Gateway to the Otherworld would be sealed. Such choices forever trapped both the Malevolent and Benevolent spirits back into the realm they belong to. With no purpose left, the Keepers of Ash vanished from history, never to be heard from again from civilization.

A hundred years have passed since the end of the War.

When infamous twenty-one year old criminal Aadya Byrne runs away from her hometown in fear of being caught by the authorities, she discovers that the evils that once dwelled within the wood from the Otherworld are present once more, seeking to finish what they once started centuries ago.

With the help of Laeth, the troubled leader of the lost Keepers of Ash, the two seek to establish the Court of Cinders once more, before it's too late.
