First of Embers

Betrayed. Tortured. Hunted. I know the agony that comes. I have spent my life and hers preparing for it and I am helpless to stop it. The darkness gathers and drowns the light and I have no other choice but to surrender. I know this is only the beginning. My sacrifice will be life knowing it will ensure she lives. And I will die peacefully knowing she is my legacy, knowing she will rise to save us all. She is the last surviving Alta Axian, the only family with the power to rule. With only a stranger Az to help Everly, she must reach the pAx while hunted, betrayed and tortured to try and save what is left of her fathers legacy before his death triggers a catastrophic failure of their world that can only be saved by his last surviving descendant facing a fight to the death in a battle to rule them all. To succeed Everly must face the person who killed her father, tortured her and endlessly hunts for her death....alone.
