Lyra Ashveil, a Stone-Tender from the village of Thornwick, discovers she can rekindle dying Ember Stones — but each use costs her memories. Joined by ex-soldier Caden Morrow, the ancient mage Seraphine Voss, and street-thief Pell, she races to stop the Null King (Aldric Vorne), who has been draining Stones across Aeldrath to power his obsession with ending the world's magical dependence. The climax takes place deep in the Aelder Mountains at the Origin Stone — the source of all Ember fire — where Lyra must decide whether to sacrifice everything she is to save everything everyone else has.
