And with this begins one of the greatest series in fantasy. The land of Ash is a harsh place, and it has turned ruka into a character strong and ruthless enough to gain power in this world. Ruka, son of bayla, is a standout character, one of the strongest of the genre.
But ruka is not our only main character, and Kale comes from a very different world. He was born a son of royalty to the island nation off the coast of the land of Ash. Kale's Island home is a paradise, and it might be a prize too big to be ignored forever.
This is a series for lovers of game of thrones or the first law books, someone looking for real character driven drama and action, world building political maneuvering and some truly excellent magic. But a word of warning. Think of the most insane trigger warning you can imagine being on any piece of media. That probably applies to this.
