Just a boy with a reforged blade and a stubborn heart.When the demon Azragor claws through the veil, Edrin must face more than molten shadow and clawed horrors.

It is chosen.With the help of a weary mage, a gruff smith, and the lantern-lit voices of a city that refuses to fall, Edrin will learn that even a cobbler can bind a legend.A novella of fire, memory, and defiance. The Binding of Ashthorne is a tale for those who believe that light, no matter how fragile, can still hold back the dark.
