Ryon stood at the edge of the world—literally.
A rift had opened beneath the ruins of the old Southern Flame Temple, and through it pulsed a steady heartbeat of law and power. A floating obsidian bridge led to a cathedral suspended in flame and mist: The Ember Vault.
He walked forward.
Kaela at his side.
Elara behind him.
Shaera, Maris, Lyria, Neive—and finally, Seris, flame trailing from her fingers like memory smoke.
Each thread shone in their own hue.
Each flame answered to him.
But ahead… the air was cold.
And waiting.
Inside the Ember Vault, five thrones stood in a perfect circle, floating above a crucible of controlled flame.
They were not seated by mortals.
They were force made flesh.
