Waking with no memory in a blood-soaked, brutal arena on a living island where the ground hums with terrifying life is just the beginning...Kairon and a group of teens find themselves trapped, forced into grotesque battles against enemies twisted by metal, madness, and something older than time. Survival doesn’t mean freedom, it means being marked by strange “relics” taken from the fallen. Relics that whisper. Relics that change you.As the island shifts and their powers grow, a terrifying truth begins to surface: this place isn’t random. It’s alive. It’s watching. And it’s choosing.Ashen Relics is the first in a haunting, genre-blending series about identity, survival, and the cost of transformation. For some, the crown is power. For others, it’s punishment. And for a few... it’s already too late.
