Ashes of Vengeance

Two warriors. One prophecy. And a love that could burn the world to the ground.

They built the Trials to break her. She'll burn their empire instead.

In a world ruled by the Ascended, the Lowborn are given a single chance at freedom - survive four deadly Trials inside the Academy. Most don't make it past the first. No one survives the last.

Nyra Vale was never meant to be chosen. A pit fighter with bloodied knuckles and a serpent-shaped mark she's spent her life hiding, Nyra steps into the Academy ready to fight - but not to play by their rules.

Kael Draven was raised by the very system built to crush her. Bound by an Oath to watch, not interfere, Kael is meant to be her silent judge. But the longer he observes her, the harder it becomes to obey - and the more dangerous his loyalty becomes.

As the Trials grow bloodier and whispers of a forbidden Vault awaken ancient fears, Nyra's survival is no longer about freedom.

It's about vengeance.
And she's done waiting for permission to rise.
