Sinopsis

In the small, picturesque town of Mindanao, a tale of resilience, redemption, and the power of hope unfolds in Rise From the Ashes. This poignant novel follows the life of Nathaniel, a young boy orphaned at a tender age and left in the cruel care of his heartless Aunt Mona. Abandoned by the world and left to endure a childhood filled with neglect and suffering, Nathaniel finds himself teetering on the edge of despair.

Despite the overwhelming darkness that surrounds him, Nathaniel clings to a glimmer of hope—a belief that even in the harshest of circumstances, goodness and kindness can still be found. This unwavering spirit sparks his journey of self-discovery and transformation as he rises above the ashes of his painful past to forge a future of his own.

Along the way, Nathaniel encounters both allies and adversaries, each shaping his destiny in ways that challenge his courage and will to survive. From a fateful meeting with a compassionate young woman named Rose to the kindness of Mr. Robinson, a man who believes in him when others don’t, Nathaniel learns that true strength lies not in the absence of suffering, but in the ability to rise above it.

Set against the backdrop of a town steeped in tradition and secrets, Rise From the Ashes is a stirring story of survival, forgiveness, and redemption. It is a tribute to the human spirit’s capacity to endure, heal, and rise from even the deepest of wounds, reminding readers that no matter how dark the world may seem, there is always a spark of light waiting to be kindled.

Of Steel and Scale

Keri Arthur

Once, they hunted the drakkons to near extinction. Now their survival might well depend on them…
Princess Bryn Silva, the sole child of Esan’s king, is not only soldier-trained but also a Strega witch, gifted with the ability to raise fire and mind speak to animals. After years of tracking the movements of the drakkons, she has formed a tenuous relationship with the biggest of them all—a queen in the prime of her life.
On the eve of Bryn’s unwanted wedding to Damon Valez, heir to the throne of Zephrine and a powerful blood witch, she ventures out to see the drakkons one last time, only to discover the utter destruction of a remote fishing village on the very edges of East Arleeon, with no evidence left behind on who attacked it or why.
Then, on her sea journey home, she senses the mind of an animal unlike any she has ever felt before. It attacks—and sinks—their boat, using weapons made of golden metal feathers that pierce wood and flesh as easily as any sword.
When that same enemy attacks Kaia—the queen she has been following—and her drakklings, a desperate alliance based on the need for survival and revenge is formed.
But can a Strega witch, who relies on the strength of her flesh to control and destroy with flame, and a drakkon, whose only weapons are tooth and claws, defeat an enemy that is mounted on armored birds and who possess weapons capable of eating through stone and skin with equal ease?
Will the husband she hadn’t wanted help defend the city, or will the secrets he keeps only add to the danger they face?
Can Esan, the mighty fortress that has protected the Eastern regions of Arleeon for eons, survive, or will it finally fall…. and take the drakkons with them?
