Embers of Orden - Paperback

A broken world. A failed mission. A fire waiting to be lit.

After a devastating encounter with the emperor of Orden, Ryoku Dragontalen is forced to retreat-beaten, broken, and more uncertain than ever. But there's no time to rest. Chris Olestine remains trapped behind enemy lines, and the empire's reach is spreading fast.

Haunted by his sister's fate and burdened by promises he struggles to keep, Ryoku begins a journey across fractured worlds, gathering allies and confronting new enemies. But the path to recovery is steep-and betrayal cuts deeper than any blade.

Meanwhile, the mighty kingdom of Syaoto struggles to persist. Will Ramun deliberates between the remnants of his homeland and upholding a vow. Sira must choose between the man she loves and helping a land teetering on the brink. Torn between duty and kinship, they must finish what they started before the darkness claims it all.

The embers of rebellion are stirring. And as past sins come back to light, Ryoku and his allies must decide what they're willing to burn to set the world right.
