Echoes of Ash and Mind

Twenty-two years after the tyrannical Vox Dominion crowned itself the single, righteous harmony of the world, the four elemental Orders smolder at their breaking point.

The Resonants rule by Sound-nobles who weaponise vibration to rupture organs and shatter stone.

The Cenobites drift in desert smoke, hiding the last prophecy of freedom beneath shifting ash.

The Verdants grow armies from living wood, yet rot spreads through their once-immortal canopies.

The Liminars steer currents of thought itself-scribes, spies, and silent rebels who remember every crime the Dominion tries to erase.

When Kaiya Lannor, an illegitimate Liminar senator's daughter, steals an Imperial memory scroll that hints at a sleeping smoke-born weapon, she ignites a hunt that will redraw the map of power. Prince Zevran Vorres-scarred Resonant heir turned disgraced field captain-is ordered to track the thieves, only to glimpse the war's atrocities through Kaiya's forbidden mind-mirror. In the ashes of their first clash lies a truth neither can outrun: the ancient myth of the Concordant, a single soul able to bend every element, has awakened-and the Empire will deafen the world to claim her.

Betrayals, sieges, and stolen memories spiral toward a reckoning where harmony itself becomes a blade. The first note of the Unison Wars has been struck; its echo will either unite the four Orders...or silence them forever.
