In the vast realm of Keodin, one orphan boy named Ronan steals food for a good cause: to feed other orphans in the city of Shuris, his 'home.' His day-to-day life is predictable: steal food, escape the guards, and don't get caught. One day, however, he gets caught and is taken directly to Cinderlight Castle, home of the Shurian nobility, and his life considerably changes from that point onward. Ronan is then tasked with saving the world from an enslaving nation that wields a hypnotizing secret weapon. He must recruit two other people from Shuris's old ally kingdoms and venture to the City of Khadian to destroy their weapon from inside its walls. All along the journey, he must also face his inner demons and terrible monsters, and discover the secrets that lay under his nose his entire life. What is the Myst and what does it want from him? Who were his parents and how did he become an orphan? What are the Crimson Oracles and how is he tied to them? Uncover a realm of delicious secrets, unimaginable creatures, and high fantasy in this novel by Ashton Leon.
