Shattered Realm of Ashes

Korga awakens beneath the rain-soaked pines of Blackthorn Forest-bloodied, hunted, and unable to remember anything but his name. His body still knows how to fight, but every instinct raises another question. Who trained him? What happened to his memories? And why does the forgotten symbol of seven stars feel so familiar?

Following a column of smoke, Korga discovers Shrin'thak, a hidden kobold village ruled by Fireking, a tiny, fearless monarch with a crown made of spoons. When three children disappear, Korga agrees to help. The rescue earns him a place among unlikely allies-and uncovers the first clue that his missing past is connected to a war erased from the world's memory.

His search soon leads beyond the forest and into crumbling strongholds, buried cities, and sealed roads beneath the mountains. Ancient artifacts awaken. A white dragon named Winter guards dangerous truths. An enemy long believed defeated begins to stir.

The seals imprisoning the Ashborn King are failing, and those determined to break them may know more about Korga's past than he does.

To save the shattered realm, Korga must reclaim the truth of who he once was without losing the person he has become. But this is not a burden he can carry alone. His greatest strength may lie not in the warrior he used to be, but in the friendships he chooses now.

Shattered Realm of Ashes is a sweeping fantasy adventure filled with dragons, forgotten kingdoms, ancient magic, thrilling battles, humor, found family, and hard-won hope. Perfect for readers who love heroic quests, richly imagined worlds, and stories in which even the most broken souls can help create a brighter future.
