Description
When hope is a choice, what will you burn to keep it alive?
In a world fractured by ancient betrayals and haunted by the ashes of forgotten oaths, a young woman awakens on a battlefield with no memory, a burning fragment of power in her palm, and a name whispered by the dying: Seraphine. Hunted as a witch, feared as a weapon, and burdened with a magic she cannot control, Seraphine must navigate a realm on the brink of ruin—where the dead rise, dragons remember, and the fate of the living hangs by a thread.
Thorne Calder, a paladin whose loyalty to the Order of the Dawn is tested by the secrets he uncovers and the bond he cannot deny. Together with a mismatched band of survivors—a dwarven smith with a haunted past, a fae mage who bends illusion into truth, an exiled orc, and a wolf who refuses to bow—they must forge an alliance strong enough to resist the Deathless One, Draemorth, whose necromantic armies threaten to consume all.
As the Accord of the Seven Races teeters on collapse, Seraphine's journey becomes one of self-discovery, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of hope. To save Veyruun, she must confront the truth of her lineage, the cost of her power, and the meaning of love in a world that demands everything.
Cinderveil is a tale of fire and memory, of oaths broken and remade, and of the courage it takes to choose hope when darkness rises. With immersive world-building, unforgettable characters, and a story that blends epic battles with intimate moments of connection, this is a fantasy for anyone who believes that hope is not given, but chosen.
Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn, Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass, Samantha Shannon’s The Priory of the Orange Tree, Sabaa Tahir’s An Ember in the Ashes, and Robin Hobb’s Realm of the Elderlings.
