Iron vow: Ash and Silence

Some promises can break the world.Theirs will rebuild it. In a world bound by chains, roots, flame, and blood, the Throne of Ash and Silence ruled all. It brought order.It brought peace.It also took names. Kenny was never meant to matter—only to obey.Marked by Old Light, he is bound to a power older than kings. Alexis carries something far more dangerous.Keeper Blood runs through her veins, tying her to a legacy that was never meant to be free. Together, they are pieces of something ancient.Something broken. As war spreads across the lands and the Throne tightens its grip, Kenny and Alexis are forced into a choice that defies everything the world was built on: obedience… or each other. With their allies—Bren, a survivor burdened by loss; Torin, a blade without a past; Cale, who would rather walk away than stand and fight; and Seraphine, a woman shaped by the doors she should never have opened—they will cross burning roads, face fallen kings, and uncover a truth far more terrifying than the Throne itself. Because the world was never meant to be ruled. It was meant to be chosen. And some choices don't save the world—they break it open.
