The Eldritch Knight

<p>One tragic night shattered a kingdom. In the birthing chamber, a darkness older than time reached through the veil, faltering the magic meant to save a queen. Grief consumed King Aldric Ravenmark, but the shadow fed that grief into fear-and fear into law. Magic was outlawed. Its wielders silenced. The realm ruled by dread.</p><p>Years later, two lives rise against that reign. One, a boy marked at birth with a sigil from a time before the kingdom. The other, a girl driven by vengeance and the desperate search for her imprisoned mother. Their paths move ever closer to the throne and to the darkness that commands it.</p><p>Set in a world where myth bleeds into memory, <em>The Eldritch Knight</em> begins an epic saga of loss and discovery, vengeance and destiny. It is the first entry in <em>The Ashen Throne Saga</em>, an expansive fantasy universe exploring the cost of power, the burden of legacy, and the light that endures even in ruin.</p>
