The Edict of Ash
Ten years old when his kingdom of Solmir fell, Prince Zoran Kai watched his legendary father, King Avelon, make the ultimate sacrifice to secure his escape. He and his mother, Queen Eliana, were violently spat out into the Divine Domain—a fractured realm of exiled gods and crystal twilight.
For seven years, Zoran has survived in the ruins, forged into a hardened warrior by the unyielding Commander Vorn. Survival is not enough. He trains for the day he can return and reclaim his throne.
But destiny forces his hand when Zoran is called into a celestial trial. He confronts the three demons of a true King: paralyzing Fear, tyrannical Ambition, and uncontrollable Rage. Conquering them grants him the Celestial Heart, an unstable power that makes him both a savior and a time-bomb.
Just as Zoran masters his new abilities, the shadows strike. Kaelus, Executive of the dark Hidden Society, steals Queen Eliana and the ancient Edict of Solmir—the last remnants of Zoran's lineage.
Now, Zoran and his protector, Vorn, must infiltrate a monstrous, secret city run by those who worship a new, terrifying power: Malakor, the God of Shadows.
In the depths of the Spire of Silence, Zoran will confront the one who destroyed his life, armed with a broken sword, a crushing aura, and a barely contained rage. He is the last heir of a fallen kingdom, and he will learn that to save his mother and reclaim his world, he must become the very thing his enemies fear most: The Last Ember of a dying star.
