Vault of Ash: Oathbound Relics - Book 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798245582283)

Kael escaped the gallows by binding a forbidden sentient relic-only to discover the mark on his throat isn't a scar... it's a signal.

Now the Ash March is swallowing the world in cinder-gray silence, and the second anchor-the Ashheart-waits inside a living vault built to punish intention. With Wardens closing fast, rival relic-hunters in the dark, and the shadow in his skull growing bolder, Kael has one shot: break the Vault, steal its fire, and get his wounded ally out alive.

But the Ashheart is more than power. It's a key-one that lights a path to the next relic... and to a market that sells reflections for the price of your name.

Fast-paced, dark fantasy with relic-magic, heists, deadly trials, and escalating stakes.
Start with Book 1 (The Oathbound Relic) for the full arc-then step into the ash.
