Forged to unite kingdoms, the Ember Crown instead left a legacy of ruin and fire. When a young blacksmith’s apprentice, Kael, becomes its unexpected keeper, he is thrust into a battle against assassins, drakes, and a queen who commands shadows and flame. Guided by a dragon bound to the crown’s power, Kael must choose whether to wield its fire as a weapon—or destroy it forever. In a world scarred by ancient wars, his choice will decide if the land burns again… or if a new legend is forged from the ashes.
