Ashes of the kindhearted

Caelen feels the pain of others and carries it as his own.



In the quiet village of Hearthollow, he lives a life of sacrifice, healing wounds he never received and bearing grief he never caused. His is a curse of empathy beautiful, unbearable, and isolating.



But when a bloodied, terrified girl stumbles from the woods and collapses in his arms, Caelen is thrust into a fate far greater than quiet suffering.



Shadows are rising.

Kingdoms are bleeding.

And Caelen may be the only one who can mend a broken world not with a sword, but with sorrow.
