Ashen Bridge
Cardbill was known for kindness, unity, and justice, until the night it vanished from the map.
Volow Arokin returns home to find ashes where his family once lived, and only his wounded cat Suki survives the devastation.
Lost, broken, and alone, Volow is found by Pine Coon, an eccentric old writer with secrets buried deeper than the mountains. As Pine shelters and trains him, Volow is thrust into a world of growing unrest: spreading protests, a corrupt government hiding something beneath the soil, and whispers of a prophecy tied to a ring Pine gives him.
Volow doesn’t know it yet, but he is being hunted.
Not for what he has done
but for who he is.
With danger rising and hidden forces watching, Volow must uncover the truth behind Cardbill’s destruction, the mystery of Suki’s survival, and the role he was never meant to escape.
