Embers Beneath the Open Sky - A Chronicle of Flame and Storm
Egan has walked the world of Avaloria for over seven thousand years, carrying the ashes of a kingdom that was meant to fall by his hand. Forged from flame and spared a terrible destiny through a love that cost everything, he wanders Avaloria as a knight without a homeland—warm in laughter, ancient in sorrow, and burdened by power he dares not fully unleash.
Sienna is a dragon bound in human form—his storm-sealed strength shackled by the mages of the Kingdom of Notus, a kingdom being reforged in chains, secrets, and stolen magic. Curious, proud, and unyielding, Sienna has endured captivity without surrendering his will. But endurance is not freedom.
When Egan rescues Sienna from the slave market tightening its grip on Notus and daring to ensnare dragons across the continent, neither expects the bond that begins to form between them. Fire and storm were never meant to move in harmony—yet as they pursue the truth behind Notus’s insidious past and horrifying present, their connection deepens into something neither of them fully understands.
But the stakes are greater than one dragon’s freedom.
A decades-long conspiracy is nearing its endgame. Dragons are being enslaved. Elemental balances are shifting. And if Egan is forced to summon the Flame Spirit King once more, it might be all of Avaloria reduced to ash this time.
As wind stirs, storms gather, and embers threaten to rise into an inferno, Egan and Sienna must decide what they are willing to risk:
A kingdom.
A continent.
Or each other.
Fire once destroyed a world.
This time, it may be the only thing that can save it.
