Every legend begins with a spark. Hers became a storm.
In a realm where dragons slumber beneath broken moons and cursed Orders guard the last truths of creation, a girl born of fire and tempest shattered fate itself. Angelarion, the forgotten child of a dying line, was hidden from prophecy-raised in exile beneath the wings of a fading queen and trained in the lost arts of flame, storm, and sacrifice.
But destiny does not forget.
When the Hollowborne-the ember-infused undead born of forbidden druidic rites-rose from the ruins of Hollowshade, it was Angelarion who answered the call. With her blade, her blood, and the fury of elemental fire, she rallied fractured kingdoms and ancient Orders to face the returning darkness. Betrayed by those closest to her and hunted by those who feared her power, Angelarion's story became more than survival. It became a reckoning.
Her children would inherit the war.
Her allies would carry the flame.
And her enemies would drown in the ashes she left behind.
The saga continues in Emberwake, where the storm-born legacy fractures across the stars.
Duskarr, forged in battle and haunted by his parent's sacrifice, finds himself cast into the void alongside a cursed fellowship-Kaelric the storm-knight, Tavion Blackthorn the fire-born rogue, Ser Jefros the steadfast, Elrin Voss the oathbreaker, and Vaelrath, whose loyalty twists like smoke. Stranded on a dying celestial body-the Dead Star-they must survive a realm unraveling, where Hollowborne roam like shadows and ancient machinery pulses with secrets too dangerous to unearth.
But survival is not enough.
In Dead Star Pact: Flames of the Lost Blood, Duskarr must rise not as a soldier, but as a leader. Bound by flame and forgotten bloodlines, he is tasked with reforging the unity broken in Emberwake. The Pact demands sacrifice, and those who remain must decide what they are willing to lose to save what little light is left. Deep beneath the surface, old Orders whisper. Embers stir. The Hollowborne are not dead... merely waiting. And the core of the Dead Star beats like a heart ready to burn.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, one man chooses fire over forgiveness.
In Vaelrath: Master of the Bound Flame, the former noble, liar, and reluctant savior walks a path of corruption and transformation. Betrayed on the Dead Star, haunted by Lilindra's fading voice, and pursued by the spectral agents of the Nareth'Kai, Vaelrath discovers a power that should never have survived. The Bound Flame is not merely a weapon-it is a prison, a hunger, and a key. To master it, Vaelrath must abandon what remains of his soul, tear open the veil between realms, and face a truth even Angelarion feared.
And when he returns... he may not be a man at all.
From storm-scarred coastlines to the corpse of a dying star, from blood-forged relics to shadow-born empires, this is the legacy of Angelarion-a saga of fire, destiny, betrayal, and rebirth. Each book in the Emberwake Saga reveals another piece of the broken world she tried to save... and the flames her children were born to endure.
The Orders are crumbling.
The Hollowborne are stirring.
And the world will burn-not because it must...
But because she did.
