The Ashen Scion – Kobo eBook

Two children, born of anomalous clutches, are brought to the sanctuary of the Ashen Keep: Faedorn, a divine offering awakened from an unblemished obsidian egg resting beside the slumbering Great Ashen Dragon, Kyrvanthis; and Renee, an elven child rescued from the grotesque, forbidden laboratory of the renegade sorcerer Xaldris Morvath. Raised in secrecy by High Commander Lilian Ashenhart and the elite Ashen Claws of the Kryvanthari, the two scions display an unprecedented command of war. Both possess the legendary Vael-Kyrinthe Poly-Chambered Willallowing them to split their intent and weave multiple opposing currents of magic simultaneously without speaking a syllable. Yet power brings isolation. While Renee longs for companionship, Faedorn shoulders a quiet curse: a chilling detachment and monomaniacal discipline born from the conviction that his sole purpose is to serve as an expendable shield for those he loves. Refusing to let him bleed in the dark alone, Renee anchors him, matching his punishing training step for step. When primordial nightmares stir beneath the roots of the worldfrom the venomous broodmothers of Skaphira to the chimera sovereign Umbraskiathe borders of the realm ignite. Tasked with molding noble heirs and wild-born orphans into an elite vanguard known as the Ashen Talons, Faedorn and Renee must temper mortal limits into unbreakable iron. But when ancient terrors rise to claim the realm, Faedorn is forced into a harrowing, solitary descent into the abyss, where he must confront not only the monsters lurking in the dark, but the apocalyptic wrath slumbering within his own marrow. The Ashen Scion is an epic tale of draconic legacy, found family, ironclad resolve, and the devastating price of standing between a broken world and the grave.
