Ashes of the Bonded Vale

Book 2️⃣

The cycle was not broken.
It only learned how to hide.

After the collapse of the Watcher's control, Thalia and Galthan believe they have escaped the system that once rewrote existence itself. The mark is no longer controlled, no longer forced-but it is still alive.

And it is still remembering.

Across fractured borders, the world begins to shift in ways no clan can explain. New anomalies appear-people who should not exist, memories that do not belong to the living, and echoes of a past cycle that never fully ended.

Thalia is no longer just a bearer of the bond.

She is its continuity anchor.

And Galthan is no longer simply her counterpart.

He is the one constant the system could never erase.

But something else is waking beneath the world.

Not the Watcher.

Something older.

Something that created the Watcher.

As reality begins to destabilize again, Thalia must confront the terrifying truth:

The first cycle was not the beginning.

It was a correction.
