Crown of Embers

by Miss Liz

When the volcanic kingdom of Ashara falls to a military coup, young heir Kael Draven discovers he can absorb the residual heat of ancient battles — a power tied to the land's molten heart. As Kael gathers a band of unlikely allies to reclaim his throne, he learns the usurper is his estranged brother Rowan, driven by a legitimate grievance against their royal bloodline. Kael must master escalating tiers of thermal power while confronting the truth that his family's reign was built on a betrayal. The question isn't just whether he can defeat his brother — it's whether he should.
