When gods die, their remnants burn the world.Prince Kaelen of Vire was born with a curse-divine crystal spreading through his flesh, turning him into something more than human and less than mortal. Desperate to survive, he seeks out Ilyen Serrat, the last true alchemist, a woman haunted by her own sin: she once tried to make a god and lost her sister in the process.Their fates entwine when the truth of Kaelen's "curse" is revealed-it isn't punishment, but design. Someone in his bloodline bred him to carry the remnants of divinity itself. As ash storms rise and zealots hunt the last relics of the fallen gods, Kaelen and Ilyen must decide whether to end the divine inheritance once and for all... or become its final vessel.A sweeping fantasy saga for readers who love complex magic systems, haunted heroes, and slow-burn tension wrapped in myth and ruin.If you enjoyed The Poppy War, The Broken Earth Trilogy, or Mistborn, you'll be right at home in the world of Ashes of the Divine.
