Heritage of the Ashborn

After surviving the battle in Dalelry and uncovering the King of River Storm’s deception, Kienna finds shelter in Dove Port with Moira.

Apprenticed to an infamous woodcarver, she begins to recover pieces of her heritage that suggest a far greater calling, and she learns how much trust demands—and that love need not be the liability she once believed.

Elsewhere in Alistile, Danek swears himself to Connak and the Hollow Blades within the Malintale Forest, Broan travels into the frozen mountains to seek an alliance with the reclusive Mountainborn Vikings,

and Moira struggles to interpret the visions that plague her even as her bond with Tislin grows.

Vaerin cannot be outrun simply by leaving River Storm, and when dark shadow magic answers the Baila’s command, old secrets come to light and the uneasy accord among Elvish, Viking, and human realms starts to fail.

The Guardians were raised to defend River Storm; now they must decide whether to walk away from the war or to use what they were taught against the king himself.
