Erisian Hestia, a reckless young girl with dreams of heroism and adventure, sets out on a legendary quest to save the Kingdom of Verdenheld from total annihilation. Reluctantly joined by Caesia Lacroix, an aspiring mage of noble birth, she must hack and slash her way to becoming the hero she was born to be. Together, they must overcome the cruel realities of the world, face odds that dictate their certain doom and bring low a beast that an entire army could not. For if they don't, if they fail, humanity will perish in the dragonfire. All that remains will be ash. Ashes of Verdenheld is the first of a five part fantasy series, introducing readers to the perilous world of Elaria, a world dominated by the rich and plagued with hate, greed and paranoia. The commonfolk dance like puppets in the hands of the church, blissfully oblivious to the oppression of those who rule them. Amidst this terrible and merciless world, a great threat rises - one that shall stand against the tyranny of Kings and burn their dominions to ash.
