A Crown From Ashes

A kingdom burned. A promise survived. A crown must rise from the ashes. The ancient city of Varengard has fallen.
Its halls are ash. Its banners lie broken. The old bloodlines that once ruled a thriving kingdom have been scattered by betrayal and war. With only nine hundred survivors, Caelrus Vaelor and Nyssara Vaelor flee into an unknown land, carrying little more than their people's hope and the memory of everything they have lost.
But survival is only the beginning.
Beyond the mountains lie thirteen rival houses, divided by generations of hatred, endless feuds, and fragile alliances. Alone, each is too weak to withstand the darkness that destroyed Varengard. Together, they could build something history has never seen before.
One kingdom.
One crown.
One future.
As enemies gather in the shadows and old wounds threaten every alliance, Caelrus must convince proud rulers to choose unity over ambition before the same fire that consumed his homeland reaches them all. Yet some powers will see the realm burn before they kneel to a single throne.
The first unforgettable installment of The Varencrest Chronicles, A Crown From Ashes is an epic fantasy of kingdoms, political intrigue, unforgettable characters, loyalty, sacrifice, and the difficult price of building peace from the ruins of war.
