When Smoke Rises

The world believes the Alden bloodline died with the flames. But Riven Alden—prince turned exile—remembers everything. The screams. The betrayal. The night his kingdom was erased by those meant to protect it.



Now, he's no prince. No crown. Just a name whispered in the ashes.



Armed with nothing but a cursed sword and the rage of a thousand ghosts, Riven sets out to tear down the three monarchs who burned his past.



This is not a hero’s tale. This is not redemption.

This is the story of a man who lost everything—

and what’s left when there's nothing but fire inside.



Vengeance isn’t justice. It’s survival.
