Crown of Embers

by Aether404 Ongoing

Synopsis

An ancient throne bleeds, and a dynasty crumbles into dust. In its place, a wolf's shadow stretches long across the land, heralding a new age of brutal, chilling order.

From this great fire, two embers are cast into the wind—

----a prince of ashes, stripped of his name and future;

----and a daughter of ice, forged in a pyre of vengeance with a past that burns within her.

Haunted by ghosts of what they have lost, their desperate paths converge in a chaotic border city, a sanctuary for the damned and the defiant.

There, among legendary adventurers and outcasts, they must learn a new truth: when a kingdom falls, survival is not enough.

One seeks the strength to face a destiny he never wanted. The other seeks the power to unmake the monster that haunts her dreams.

But the architect of their sorrow plays a grander game, one of ancient secrets and forgotten power.

To fight the coming night, these broken children of a fallen kingdom must learn to burn brighter than the darkness that consumes the world.
