King of Ashes

“King of Ashes” ignites Raymond E. Feist’s epic Firemane Saga, plunging readers into a world teetering on the brink of collapse. Following centuries of peace, the world of Garn is shattered when four kingdoms conspire to annihilate Ithrace, the Kingdom of Flames, and its charismatic ruler, Steveren Langene—the Firemane. In the ensuing power vacuum, a dangerous struggle for supremacy erupts. Amidst this chaos, two seemingly disparate lives are set on a collision course that will determine Garn's fate. One is Hatu, the hidden heir of the slain Firemane, secretly raised among the deadly Nocusara, the "Hidden Warriors" of the Island of Coaltachin, mastering the arts of assassination and espionage. The other is Declan, a brilliant young weaponsmith who, by mastering the lost art of forging King’s Steel, finds himself a target, forced to flee his home. Their paths converge in Lord Daylon Dumarch's provinces, an independent baron who holds the key to Hatu’s true identity. As ancient betrayals resurface and new threats emerge, Hatu and Declan must unravel the secrets of a world still scarred by war, embarking on a perilous journey that will reveal their entwined destinies and the true enemy manipulating the realms.
