Through Ash and Iron

**In a world divided by war, where rivalries burn hotter than the sun and the clash of swords echoes through the ages, two commanders forged an unexplainable bond in their final moments-a bond that would become legend.**

When the battlefield claimed Azrion and Rhael, enemies sworn to destroy one another, their intertwined hands told a tale the world would never forget. Some called it fate, others a fleeting touch of the divine. No one knew the truth behind their final act of unity.

Centuries later, their story lingers in whispers, a warning and a mystery. Kai and Jeyrick, bitter rivals in a kingdom on the brink, care little for ancient legends. Their only focus is outwitting each other in a rivalry as fierce as the storms that plague their lands. Yet, when they are thrown together on a mission that could tip the scales of war, they begin to question the roles they've always played.

Is their rivalry born of hatred, or is there a deeper reason their paths always cross? As shadows loom and destiny stirs, Kai and Jeyrick must face the truth: sometimes, the enemy you fight the hardest is the one you're meant to save.

**A tale of war, destiny, and the bonds that transcend hatred, *The Binding of Rivals* will grip your heart and leave you questioning the power of fate and the true meaning of brotherhood.**
