From Ashes They Rose

Deep wounds fester in the collective psyche of a once proud nation now destroyed and humiliated. All that remains is a driving desire for revenge. It should never have happened. Retribution will know no mercy. He is scorned as the not-King and faces an enemy more powerful than any force he can muster. Prince Shayth Shindell has lost his closest friends and might lose his kingdom. He needs allies. He must stand up and lead. But the old rage festers and while the young prince evokes trust from others, he must first learn to trust himself. Mharina must follow the woman she loves and hates if she is to discover her true potential. She will turn her back on her family, her home, and her teachers. But she will not be as alone as she thinks. Friendship is as powerful as the magic that stirs within her. A disgraced assassin was there at the beginning, killed his best friend, and allowed his greatest enemy to walk away. He spiraled into a world of violence and bottomless flagons of ale. But a chance meeting in a rough tavern offers a chance to regain his humanity and right the wrongs of his tragic past. The social fabric of Odessiya has unraveled. Strands of hope desperately traverse the land and cross borders. Powerful enemies bent upon revenge must be vanquished. The Wycaan Master's vision cannot be allowed to die.
