Ashborne Scion

Details

Kaelen spends his days hunched over yellowed parchments in the dusty scriptorium of Aethel, the Last Redoubt. A mere cartographer's apprentice, he painstakingly redraws maps of a forgotten world beyond the city's immense, crumbling walls, dreaming of lands he will never see. Yet, a peculiar coldness often stirs beneath his skin, a faint hum in his bones that he dismisses as nerves or the city's perpetual chill. This is a lie he tells himself, and the world. Kaelen is not merely a commoner, but the last vestige of a lineage forgotten even by myth – an Ashborne Scion, infused with the raw, untamed essence of the Elder Gods who forged and then abandoned this broken world. When the city's precarious peace shatters under the assault of creatures born from the tainted wilds, and ancient, forbidden rites threaten to unearth truths best left buried, Kaelen's dormant power will ignite. He must learn to wield the terrifying legacy coursing through his veins, or watch Aethel, and perhaps what remains of humanity, crumble to ash.
