Beyond the Ashes of Aerylis

            Elæyr has been riven with jealousy and hatred since the fall of Aerylis -- but there was once a time of peace; when magic and wonder were the beauty of the world. But they have forgotten.

            Kaelon Zhorani, a prince born to rule a feared and hated kingdom, dares to chase that very magic, or at least, the reamenants of it -- his only escape from a path chosen long before his birth. But as the ivory moon bleeds across the black sky, chasing the truth becomes a deadly game.

            Wren lives under the edge of a dagger; running from shop vendors, village elders, dreams. Trapped by fragments of her past, she longs to vanish into a forest only she seems to understand.

            When their paths cross at an ancient monument frozen in time, a forbidden fate begins to unfold.Some legends deserve to be buried. Others, no matter how they may be covered, refuse to die...

WHAT TO EXPECT>>>

          A slow-burn high/dark fantasy with rich atmospheric prose, layered foreshadowing, ancient mysteries, and morally complex characters.

TW: Graphic violence, trauma, emotional abuse, and "racism" (specifically against winged creatures or fantasy humanoids - not ethnicity in the form of skin tones).

(PS: even though I did use an AI tool for editing, no full sentence is AI-generated, and I merely used the tool to look for typos.)
