A Lineage of Ash

About this book

In the rigid, industrial-fantasy empire of Aethelgard, society is ruthlessly divided between the sky-dwelling aristocracy and the subterranean laborers. Silas Morcant, a scarred and cynical smuggler, wants nothing more than to keep his head down and survive in the shadows. But when a street-thief steals an artifact that threatens to expose the founding lies of the empire's traditions, Silas is reluctantly dragged into a brewing rebellion. Told through a Third Person Omniscient perspective that weaves across parallel timelines, the narrative alternates between Silas's present-day struggle to protect a new generation and the harrowing events of his childhood twenty years prior, when a catastrophic mining collapse taught him the brutal realities of their social caste. As the timelines converge, Silas, alongside an idealistic thief, a conflicted magistrate, and a ruthless noblewoman, must decide whether to uphold the traditions that bind them or burn their broken world to the ground.
