Vault of Ash: Oathbound Relics - Book 2

Kael escaped the gallows by binding a forbidden sentient relic—only to discover the mark on his throat isn’t a scar… it’s a signal. Now the Ash March is swallowing the world in cinder-gray silence, and the second anchor—the Ashheart—waits inside a living vault built to punish intention. With Wardens closing fast, rival relic-hunters in the dark, and the shadow in his skull growing bolder, Kael has one shot: break the Vault, steal its fire, and get his wounded ally out alive. But the Ashheart is more than power. It’s a key—one that lights a path to the next relic… and to a market that sells reflections for the price of your name. Fast-paced, dark fantasy with relic-magic, heists, deadly trials, and escalating stakes. Start with Book 1 (The Oathbound Relic) for the full arc—then step into the ash.
