Embers Beneath Ash

He died at the peak of his power. He woke up in the body of a seven-year-old boy. Karos — the greatest general of his age — spent forty years mastering war, sacrifice, and the cost of victory. One betrayal ended it all. Now he is Rayn. A child in an Academy full of enemies he cannot yet fight, carrying a forbidden power system called the Ember — five levels that each take something the body cannot reclaim. But the man who killed him is still alive. And he's three hundred years old. Some fires don't die. They hide beneath the ash.
