Ashes Of The Chosen

In a world where mortal brides are chosen to sustain the balance of the elemental realms, Ardyn is thrust into a fate she never sought. Born with a secret connection to fire, she is claimed by Kael, the enigmatic and formidable Fire Lord, as the next bride destined for the Pillars of Ember.

But the path to this union is fraught with danger. The centuries-old pact between mortals and the Elemental Lords is riddled with lies, and the curse binding Kael to his realm ensures that no bride survives long. As Ardyn unravels the truth behind the ritual and her own untapped power, she must navigate a perilous dance of trust and betrayal.

Kael, haunted by the failures of his past and the weight of his curse, finds himself drawn to Ardyn's defiance and strength. Together, they face a prophecy that foretells salvation-but only at a cost neither is prepared to pay.

Bound by fire and fate, can Ardyn and Kael break the cycle of sacrifice, or will the flames consume them both?
