Ashes of Veythar

In the kingdom of Thalvorne, power is bound not by birthright, but by supernatural powers wrested from the Cosmic Cradle. To claim one is to wield the strength of gods…and to bear a curse that grinds flesh and soul to ruin. Axel Veythar never sought such power. He was only a forgotten son of a forgotten clan—until soldiers burned his home and left him with nothing but a black-wrapped sword: Hollowfang. In desperation, Axel bound himself to the Law of Ash, trading breath for fire and skin for cinder. From that night on, vengeance became his only path. Branded the Cinder-Born, Axel cuts his way through warlords, assassins, and zealots, hunted and coveted for the relic that should have died with his family. But Hollowfang is no ordinary blade, and those who know its secret will tear the world apart to claim it. What begins as a tale of revenge grows into a struggle against kings, cults, and the very Laws that shape existence. For every battle Axel wins, the fire within him consumes a little more. And as the centuries-old cycle of the Cradle stirs, Axel must face a truth darker than ash. Some burn for power. Some kill for it. Axel fights to survive it.
