Fall of Ashes

The World Is Dying. The Cure is a Lie. In a world plagued by the consuming sickness of the Faege, a perilous beacon pierces the sky: the Tower of Light. Its ancient power offers the only hope for survival, but the ritual known as the Affirmation demands a crippling price. When Addy Swift, an ordinary girl harboring an extraordinary secret within her blood, is chosen to undertake this journey, her life is irrevocably changed. Thrust into a grueling training regiment, she is ripped from her sheltered home and forced to confront the brutal realities of her world: from the monstrous horrors of the Twisted Lands to the ruthless, white-skinned skeg who stalk the desolate Waste. As she fights alongside her companions, Addy is driven by a destiny far grander-and more terrifying-than she could ever imagine. She must master the dangerous, unpredictable power rising within her, even as every step toward the Tower drags her closer to the truth. Can one girl's hidden power save them all, or will her journey be nothing more than another Fall of Ashes?
