Taron Emberfall never wanted more than a peaceful life on his family’s farm—until he stumbles on his father’s old sword, a broken blade pulsing with mysterious embers. As monstrous creatures raze farms and push the kingdom toward chaos, Taron teams up with a prickly retired knight, a capable huntress, and wary townsfolk trying to protect their home. Racing against both fear and a cunning, ancient evil, Taron realizes this fractured sword might be the only spark left against the darkness swallowing Arinthia. If he can shoulder the responsibility his father once bore, Taron just might reignite the embers of hope before it’s too late.
