Hero. Savior. Heir. Traitor. Exile. Kell.When he won the war, Prince Halcion Skyborn was ready to become the Crown Prince of the Empire of Athos. But life would never be that easy and the political minds would make sure of that. He was close to uprooting the sitting High Minister, who's twisted interpretation of the Code of Athos, the defining doctrine for the people, sent the Empire on a dangerous path to where it had never gone before. On the cusp of confronting him in front of the Imperial Council and steering the Empire back on track, unfathomable news is brought to light and Hal is accused of having a hand in it. Now, the very people who sang songs of his triumph and showered him with love, hate him.Stripped away of his Fire Wielding magic, the very thing that made him unique, and feared, Hal is sent to the dreaded Ashlands of Asha, where the former prince is forced to brave the dangers in the inhospitable land of perpetual ash. Its kill or be killed and any step could be the last. In a quest to understand what happened, what went wrong, Hal learns that there is more to him than just wielding magic. With bits of information left by his late mother, he must search for the truth about his ancient ancestors and the celestials they mingled with millenniums ago if he wants to regain the powers bestowed to him by blood and defeat the evil that threatens the ashy planet itself. But he must prove to himself, and the masters of centuries past, that he can master the Inferno. Try as he might, the echoes of a Primordial god threaten to bend the will of the galaxy's inhabitants to its desire. Will he succumb to the same fate? Or resist the madness that tries to warp his mind?
