Edith: Ashes of Oakhaven (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798312191110)

When the world turns sideways, heroes rise.

He lost his home in a single morning. Now the world expects him to save it.

Oakhaven was supposed to be the kind of village where nothing ever happened-

until the warlord Varath's forces reduced it to ash.

Kaelen Varus never asked to be a hero. He was just a hunter, a quiet kid who preferred the forest to people. But when his mentor dies in his arms and whispers a final, impossible command-

Find Heavensguard-

Kaelen is dragged into a secret far older and far deadlier than any kingdom war.

The truth?

The "weapon" Varath seeks isn't a weapon at all.

It's a key-one of two-and if Varath finds the second, the world will kneel or burn.

Thrown into the chaos alongside unlikely allies-a trauma-joking swordsman, a blunt robot historian, and Lyra, a white-furred rogue with more secrets than scars-Kaelen must outrun armies, navigate ancient ruins, and confront forces that shouldn't exist above the sky or beneath it.

Kaelen isn't chosen.

He isn't ready.

But he's all that's left.

And if he fails, the next place to burn won't be a village.

It'll be everything.
