Ashes of the Nine

Born of mystery and left to fate, Kael Ardent was found as a baby floating in a river and raised among nobles who once cherished him as their own. But in a world where power defines worth, Kael’s failure to awaken an ability during the Ceremony of Awakening cast him into darkness—mocked, rejected, and betrayed by the very family who once called him brother. At ten, the girl who once promised to marry him turned her back. At sixteen, Kael’s siblings led him into the mountains and pushed him off a cliff, leaving him to die. But death did not take him. Instead, it awakened the Primordial System—an ancient force bound to Kael alone. With the Nine Paths of Elemental Mastery etched across his chest.
