Emberlight Chronicles: The Awakening (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995019213)

Before the flame, there was silence.

Before silence, there was a broken crown.

The worlds were once bound by the Emberlight-a living force of memory, loyalty, and truth that held twelve realms in balance. At their center stood the Circle of Twelve, guardians of the veil between worlds. But the Circle was shattered, the keys were scattered, and the Emberlight fell into sleep. From that silence rose The Hollow King-a ruler forged not by war, but by unspoken truth and forgotten names.

In modern Brooklyn, Kai, a science-minded stargazer feels the pull of something ancient awakening. At his side, Thunder, a silver-furred wolf bound to his fate. Across the worlds, Lyra, a flame-bearer bound to prophecy and loss. She is bound to Solara, an ember-scaled dragon. Drawn together by fate Kai and Lyra discover they are not heroes by destiny, but by choice. They are watched, and challenged, by Veyra, an ancient guardian of gates and oaths. They must pass through hidden gates buried beneath cities, temples, and forgotten worlds.

Each trial forces them to confront what has been silenced: memory, grief, guilt, and shame. Each victory restores a fragment of the Emberlight-and brings them closer to the truth behind the Hollow King and breathtaking adventures. Perfect for readers who love epic fantasy with heart, found-family bonds, mythic companions, and stories that linger long after the final page.

The flame is stirring.

The gates are opening.

And the story has only just begun.
