Legacy of the Ashen Beast

Beaten, starved, and left for dead in the grimy Sinks of Sector Nine, Nathan is just another gutter-crawler destined for the corpse-trenches. But when a brutal attack triggers a terrifying, ancient power within him, his broken bones knit into obsidian scales and his hunger transforms into an insatiable, predatory void. This isn't the glorious Awakening of the noble elite; it's a monstrous transformation, a lineage of calamity stirring in his veins, demanding to consume. Now, with a city warden sweep imminent and a powerful noble's wrath closing in, Nathan must navigate a world that fears what he is becoming, all while a dark, ravenous entity awakens within him.
