Beneath the Great Veil's obsidian shroud, emotions are a death sentence. Kael Emberheart, 15, laughs anyway-his smile a spark in the gray. When his best friend Taren dies for weeping over a bird, Kael's fire wakes, burning Sentinels to ash. Betrayed by a spy and scarred by loss, he swears to shatter the Veil, free every heart, and see the stars Taren dreamed of. But his flames come with a cost-each burst feeds the Veil, and whispers call his name. In the shifting Emberfall Expanse, Kael gathers the Fireborn-outcasts with dreams as fierce as his own-to face warlords, Leviathans, and a Keeper older than the sky. Will his fire free the world-or consume him? A saga of defiance begins with a single ember.
