The Ember Covenant

After the Ashfall, the old nations are gone, the surviving settlements live behind walls, and dragons exist only in stories-or so humanity believes. In Grayhaven, brothers Everett Lee, Callum Rex, and Barron Haf have learned to survive beneath the rule of Elias Malrec, a king who promises order while taking everything his people need to live. When the brothers fall through Mount Ardent and into Vaelora, the last hidden refuge of the western dragons, they uncover the source of Malrec's power: stolen fire, buried names, and a language twisted until authority sounds like truth. Their alliance with Aurelion, Nyra, Tavi, Vorr, and the dragons may be the only hope of breaking the king's rule. Yet defeating a tyrant is only the beginning. Humans and dragons must decide whether grief will become vengeance, whether safety is worth surrendering freedom, and whether power can be shared without becoming another chain. Told through ten interconnected tales, THE EMBER COVENANT is a sweeping post-apocalyptic fantasy of brotherhood, sacrifice, mercy, faithfulness, and the difficult work of building peace after war.
