In the Kingdom of Vyrendral, where the bones of gods lie buried beneath a scarred wasteland, a prophecy stirs in the Year 472 of the Shattered Age. Sylvara Wren, a fiery 16-year-old from the village of Cinderfall, dreams of mastering the Emberweave-a volatile magic that channels divine flame at the cost of the caster's life. Haunted by her mother's death and driven by rage against a merciless world, Sylvara's simple desire to prove herself unravels when an unbidden power surges within her, whispering of awakening. Unbeknownst to her, she is the ember child, a mortal vessel for a slumbering god destined to remake or destroy the world.
Kael Draven, a hunted heretic and former priest, believes the gods are not gone but sleeping. His ruthless quest to protect the prophesied child leads him to Sylvara, though his bloodstained methods blind him to the cost of his choices. At his side is Mirren Voth, a sharp-tongued thief whose loyalty shifts like the tides, drawn to Kael's cause by coin but tethered to Sylvara by a shared, unspoken secret. As the Cult of the Hollow Flame and Vyrendral's fearful king hunt for the child, the trio's fates collide in a land of moving forests, cursed seas, and fading leylines.
The Ember Child - The Ember's Awakening is a gripping fantasy of fate versus free will, where divine whispers ignite mortal hearts. As Sylvara's power grows, so does the question: will she rise as a savior or burn the world to ash? Perfect for fans of intricate world-building, morally complex characters, and epic tales of sacrifice and rebellion.
