Wounds of Ash: Book One of the Vendi Chronicles (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781088127858)

Ringard, the capital of Myral, and home of the magical Ringada has been attacked. With the help of his best friend, Josen sets out to hunt for those responsible. Driven by rage at the murder of his wife during the onslaught, Josen will stop at nothing to get revenge.

Aliyah, a Myralian born on the wrong side of the mountains, may be the key to bringing magic back to Gralanth. Sold to a Gralanthian nobleman, she learns more about her powers and just how dangerous magic can be in the wrong hands.

When their paths collide, Aliyah and Josen must work together. Monsters once thought to be myth are hunting them, and the fates of Myral and Gralanth are at stake. What ancient power has been awakened and why is it seeking revenge of its own?
