Ashes of Karin: The Second Fall

Twenty years ago, the world burned.
The great cities of the realm fell in a single day, consumed by an unexplained catastrophe remembered only as the Fall. Kingdoms collapsed, entire civilizations vanished, and the survivors were left to rebuild among the ashes.
For most people, the Fall is a story. For Maeson, it is a memory.
One of the last survivors of Karin, Maeson has spent two decades training soldiers and trying to bury the ghosts of a world long gone. But when impossible signs begin appearing once again-a distortion of light, a distant column of black smoke, whispers of strange events beyond the horizon-he fears the disaster that destroyed his home may be returning.
Among his recruits is Talin, a young man eager to prove himself and hungry for a purpose greater than the quiet life he has always known.
As old secrets emerge and the shadows of the past begin to stir, Talin and Maeson find themselves drawn into a mystery that reaches back to the day the world burned. What they uncover threatens not only their homeland, but everything the survivors have built since the Fall.
Because some disasters are never truly defeated.
And some fires never die.
