A Child of Ashes: Volume 1: The False King

 The Era of Kings Is Ending…

The world began changing in ways no one anticipated. Growing in power and influence, John Hargrove has spent his life collapsing and ridding figures of power around Arlax Realm. And now his sights are set on the thrones of the Six Southern Kingdoms.

Leon Melstorm, the second son of the King of Aithon, has lived a life of isolation; trapped in the royal palace for reasons unknown to him. Leon waited, yearning for a call that will allow him to see the world he was kept from.

The call he got, was not the one he wanted.

When John massacres powerful figures of the Aithonian throne, Leon is forced out of his home and is piled with an immense responsibility to save the Realm that he hardly knows. Seen as incapable, spoiled, and ignorant, Leon is tossed into an epic adventure of challenges and tragedy and is marked as the Realm’s last hope between stability and total chaos.

The adventure that Leon had wished for will transform him into a hero that will bring peace—or into a villain that brings the chaos that he was fighting to prevent.
