Before light bent the horizon, before names turned to dust, there was Kplir. A world of vast forests and iron peaks, of rival peoples bound by pacts older than fire. A world torn between stone and flesh, ritual and war. Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Orcs, Centaurs - five lineages as blind to each other as they were at war, each carrying its own demise without seeing it. Then a breath rose. Not a prophecy. Not a king. Something older. A name one dares not speak too loudly: Owa. He did not seek to unite. He sought nothing. He walked. And in his wake, the ground trembled - not with power, but with memory. For this is not the story of a hero. It is a crossing. A tear in the fabric of the world. This is the story of a world wearing thin. Of a world that remembers too much. The story of a felled tree whose roots still sing. Of a continent that falters and is reborn in fragments, between dead magic, sacred ash, and silences that carry seeds. The Ashes of Wey is not an ending. It is the last breath of an ancient world - and perhaps the first heartbeat of one yet to come.

The war that started it all. Five hundred years ago a war erupted in Elementa when humans started hunting a revered race called the Drekablóð; half humanoid, half dragon. The humans saw them as abominations for their differences; fear of a race more powerful than another makes others do rash and deadly things. After the humans slaughtered a whole settlement of Drekablóð, the magical creatures of Elementa rose up in defense of the Drekablóð. The humans likewise called on their dwarf and elf allies. Thus Bellum ex Quod Draco ipsos Troiugenas began. For ten long, bloody years the races fought hard for the future of the Drekablóð. One wanting to exterminate them like pest. The other wanting them to survive and flourish. In the end, the humans won, but their victory cost them and the rest of Elementa dearly. The alicorns and dwarves disappeared. The wyverns and elves were practically extinct. Dragons were a rare sight. Only the humans survived to tell the tale of how they wiped out the evil monsters that tried to take their lands. Elementa, originally a lush and beautiful land, was now split into four different climates, equally harsh in their own way. But the humans prevailed in cultivating Elementa and chasing away any remaining magical creatures into her far corners. With the resistance of magical creatures no longer in their way, the humans continued their 'sport' of hunting the Drekablóð into extinction. Half a millennium later, the seeress Carmentha foresaw the return of the Drekablóð, and restoring Elementa to her prime and defeating the wicked and harsh rulership of Elementa. These four children have been destined to save Elementa before they were ever born. Can they overcome their difficulties and save Elementa? Or will they fail and allow Elementa to fall into darkness forever? There will be some minimum swearing and minimum acts of violence. I would rate this book for 14 and up.
