Ember Road

Ember Road

The city is dying. The land outside its walls crumbles to dust. And for forty years, the Conclave

has been taking people - healers, practitioners, anyone who carries the old gift in their blood -

and making them disappear.

Maren Ashveil is one of the marked. Expelled from the city with a brand on her arm and nothing

but the clothes she stands in, she knows two things: that the gift she carries is the reason they

came for her, and that the dying land and the disappeared people are connected to something far

older and far larger than the Conclave wants anyone to understand.

What she finds in the Wastes is a group of survivors, a woman who has been waiting sixty years

for the right person to arrive, and the truth about what lives below the ground - and what it has

been asking for.

Ember Road is a story about the cost of doing the necessary thing, the specific courage of people

who ask the questions that get them expelled, and what it means to give something back to the

world that the world has been waiting for. The true secrets of the Embers will come out.

The relationship was always there. It just needed someone willing to return it.
