The Ashkeeper's Vale

For a hundred years, the Vale has burned. The Ashkeepers swore an oath to tend the sacred fire that holds the darkness at bay. But now the flame gutters, the ash falls cold, and something stirs in the deep woods beyond the Vale. Eldric was born to keep the ash, not to question it. When his master dies with a warning on his lips — "The Vale is a lie" — Eldric must leave the only home he has ever known and descend into a world of forgotten gods, broken vows, and a power that feeds on sacrifice. As kingdoms crumble and the sky turns to cinder, he will learn that some fires are not meant to be kept. Some are meant to burn everything down. The Ashkeeper's Vale is a dark, atmospheric epic fantasy of duty, betrayal, and the price of keeping a dying light alive. Perfect for fans of 【entity-Shadow and Bone¦canonical_name=Shadow and Bone】 and The Name of the Wind.
