Ashes of the fallen

The world didn't just end it was broken in half the day two men raised their blades: one to erase mankind, the other to believe in it one last time. Centuries later, the "peace" is a lie. Empires still stand, but their crowns are heavy with the ashes of the dead. The nobles who rule now treat power like a game and common people like fuel. Corin is just a restless young man, skilled with a sword, who only wanted to escape his decaying village and find a real life. But destiny has a cruel sense of humor. He's dragged into a war that reveals the truth about the fallen capital a terrible secret that birthed this age of decay. Corin will quickly find himself caught between those fighting to save what's left of humanity, and those who have seen too much and think the only solution is to burn it all down. When the dust settles, he'll face a choice heavier than any blade: To save mankind, or to finish the job. In a world built on lies and ruins, Corin must decide what it truly means to be human.
