The Last Ember (Short Story)

Within the kingdom of Eldyrn, light is the source of all power, fuelled by the Eternal Flame that has burned within the kingdom walls for thousands of years – until one night it dies.



Without it, Eldryn is now vulnerable. As panic spreads, The High Council reluctantly calls upon Xander Thorne – an exiled who can hold fire in his bare hands, though no one knows why, after an old prophecy hints that “the one who walks unburned” can find the ember. It isn’t only the kingdom of Eldyrn that seeks this fire, Veilborn cult claim that this fire hold more than just fire – it is the key to life.



Xander and his squad must decide whether to utilise this Ember to rebuild the realm as they are running out of time, or to destroy the old world and begin again?
