Beneath endless grey ash, I’ve buried my true identity as the Silver-Crowned heir for sixteen quiet years. I only wanted to live as a nobody fortune teller - until a dying elf dragged my family’s bloody secret back to me. The tyrant Emerald Queen locked my sister away to hunt my ancient power, the magic that can tear open the gate between the living and the dead. On my desperate quest across the cursed wasteland, I cross paths with Keth’ras, the Queen’s most feared silver-eyed general sent to capture me. He’s supposed to drag me to the throne, yet he abandons everything to stand at my side. Buried betrayals, four centuries of court ruin, and a prophecy that five chosen souls alone can break the queen’s iron reign await us. What starts as bitter hatred between us blooms into a love forged from loss. Now I must choose: unleash the ash’s ancient power, or sacrifice myself to free everyone trapped in this dying grey world?
