An Ascendant of Kings
An Embers of the Past Series Novel

A kingdom under siege. A war far from over. A destiny that could remake the world.

After twenty years of enslavement, Adofo has returned to Akopia at last, only to find his homeland under relentless threat from the Children of the Sun. To claim the throne that should have been his, he must face a brutal war, a fractured past, and the terrible cost of freedom won too late.

At his side, Nishan has spent two decades defying impossible odds as the feared commander of the Lantern Hawks. Now, with his long-lost brother restored to him, hope flickers for the first time in years, but war leaves little room for mercy.

Far beyond the battlefield, Siham Sar Amun walks a far more perilous path. As assassination, revelation, and spiritual fate converge, she is drawn toward a legacy that may determine whether the darkness gathering over Thearus can ever be cast down.

As crowns, kingdoms, and bloodlines are tested, who will endure the coming storm, and what will remain when it breaks?
