Heir Of The Ashen Flame

Imrie_02
In a world where magic is forbidden and bloodlines are burned from history, seventeen-year-old Kaelith lives quietly as a blacksmith’s apprentice—until the day her touch ignites metal and shadows bend to her will. Branded a heretic and hunted by the fanatical Inquisitors of the Holy Order, Kaelith is forced into the cursed Wyrmback Forest, where an ancient relic awakens in her presence: a crown forged from shadow and flame. The Ashen Crown has long been lost—sealed away when the last of the Ashenborn were slaughtered. Its reappearance marks the return of a terrible legacy and a prophecy the world prayed was buried. Kaelith must unravel the truth of her heritage, master a power that could unmake the world, and decide whether to rise as its savior... or burn it to ash. But the Order is closing in. Old gods stir. And something darker than war is coming. The Ashen Crown calls. And Kaelith must answer.

The Next General

"Have you heard of him?" A small boy tugged at a woman's skirt, his tiny finger pointing at the large portrait of a man clad in a minister’s robe. "Shhh! Don’t say its name!" The woman hushed him, glancing around anxiously. She knew the boy was only curious about the drawing, yet the inscription beside it spoke of someone else entirely. Still, the credit had been given to the man in the portrait. "Why?" "We just... don’t say it." "Are you talking about The Next General?" A man dressed as a scholar interjected, inserting himself into the conversation. "Everyone is talking about it. After a hundred years, it has returned. I can't decide whether that fills me with hope or dread." His words were meant to impress, to showcase his knowledge, but the woman only tightened her grip on the boy, scooped him up, and hurried away like a hunted animal sensing danger. The scholar let out a single sharp laugh. "A chaotic rhythm… and marvellously extraordinary times are upon us," he murmured, before turning and walking away. --- Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.
