Ember and the Dark

On the night Abdullah turns eighteen, every fire in the village of Ashenvale dies at once — and something wakes in the hollow of his palm that was never supposed to sleep.The mark is the Ember Band: one of five ancient inheritances left behind by the First Maker to sustain the world itself. But the seal binding Vorreth — the Unborn Dark, the awareness that existed before creation — is cracking after three centuries. His servants are already moving. And Abdullah has two years to find four other bearers before everything ends.With an ageless Maren elder at his side and a road he has never walked ahead of him, he takes his first steps into a quest older than any kingdom standing.The Ember and the Dark is an epic dark fantasy about inherited destiny, the silence parents keep, and the fire that burns forward even when it cannot yet see the road.
