Hunted and exiled, former queen Zahara and warrior Kato flee into the deadly Whispering Wastes. Stripped of everything but their vow to each other, they must become more than fugitives-they must become founders.But they are not alone in the wilderness. Drawn together by shared desperation, escaped miners, desert nomads, and unseen watchers of the stone must unite under a new, radical law: belonging. As Zahara's healing Touch learns to speak to the land itself, and Kato's strategic mind shifts from diplomacy to defense, they discover that their greatest threat may also be their only hope.Embers of the Unity Fire is the gripping second chapter in Raphael Mokora's acclaimed saga, a testament to love as rebellion and community as defiance. It is a story of foundations laid in shadow, where the birth of a child and the birth of a nation become one, and where the smallest spark of hope, sheltered by many hands, must learn to burn bright enough to hold back the coming darkness.Perfect for readers of epic fantasy who crave rich character journeys, intricate world-building, and a profound exploration of what it means to build a home when the world wants you erased.
