A Crown of White Ash

Born into the royal family, Vaelen should have inherited a sacred white flame. Instead, something dark answered his birth. Raised inside the palace but treated as a problem, he grows up learning that in a world ruled by bloodlines, being different is more dangerous than being weak. As the silence around him grows heavier, Vaelen begins to understand that his birth is tied to something the kingdom wanted forgotten. Some call his birth a curse. And it may become the beginning of the kingdom’s fall.
