In a world choked by ash and ruined by forbidden magic, Lord Garrett steps into the dead Forge-City of Oakhaven, seeking a relic that could save his people. The Ashen Crown, radiating an unnatural heat, promises unity but carries a deadly curse. As nomadic tribes march and the eastern borders burn, Garrett believes this twisted circlet is the only hope against a looming wasteland. But claiming it means defying ancient warnings and facing a ruthless warlord who seeks the crown to incinerate what little fertile land remains. With the last acolyte of the Iron Altar spitting prophecies of doom and Malakor's forces closing in, Garrett grips the pulsing crown, knowing the battle for survival has just begun. Can he wield its power without succumbing to its corruption, or will his desperate gamble doom them all?
