Path of Ashes

Xx_Adam_xx
A tormented soul, unaware of how long it has lived, how many times it has died, how much it has suffered, how much it has lost. That soul, which for a moment believed it had freed itself from the chains of pain, only to return and discover that every step was but an illusion. When it thought it had survived, reality came to shake its very core and destroy what little remained. After cries of call, after pleas that were met with silence, where words scattered in the air, laden with longing and a need for a hope still far away. No one answered. No help, no mercy, only the darkness that surrounded it at every corner. What was it asking for? Perhaps it sought relief from an endless pain, perhaps it sought death to grant it stillness... but, is there a place for peace in this cruel world? After a solitary, hopeless pain, the world seemed to gaze upon it with sorrow. As if it pitied it, or perhaps it was destined for even more suffering. But what is this, if not the end of one path and the beginning of a new one? And the goal? Who knows... . Note: The story will unfold across multiple paths—some will be part of the main plot, while others will branch off as side arcs. We’ll begin with the Path of Ashes, which, as you may have noticed, shares its name with the title of the novel.

Sovereign Ascendancy

In the turbulent twilight of the 15th century, where clashing steel and whispered intrigues shape destinies, one bold warrior dares to defy the old order. In Sovereign Ascendancy, a skilled swordsman emerges from the shadows of feuding fiefdoms to forge Averenthia—a realm carved not merely from bloodshed, but from an iron will to create a kingdom ruled by absolute might. Averenthia’s birth is wrought amid swirling battles and clandestine court intrigues. Our protagonist, a formidable fighter armed with unrivaled swordsmanship and keen strategic insight, embarks on a quest to unify scattered lands under his banner. The story unfolds against a backdrop of grand, rising castles, echoing duels on rain-soaked moors, and clandestine meetings in torch-lit halls where honor and treachery wage a ceaseless war. As armies clash and alliances shift like the wind over ancient battlements, every cut of his blade and every whispered promise draws the nation closer to both glory and the inevitable cost of absolute power. Yet, as Averenthia’s lands firm their foothold through valor and might, the burden of ruling a realm steeped in old legacies and new ambitions begins to take its toll. Our hero must navigate the treacherous dance of loyalty and betrayal, questioning whether the fervor of conquest and the sharp tang of steel can ever reconcile with the fragile dreams of peace and justice. Sovereign Ascendancy is a tale of ambition, honor, and the brutal realities of leadership, where the clashing of swords heralds the forging of a legacy that will echo through the ages. Curious to delve into Averenthia's secret orders of knights, the legend of its enchanted armaments, or the ceremonial duels that decide the fate of its leaders?
