The Kingdom of Blue ash

In the Grey Marches, the wind whispers through the skeletal remains of petrified blue ash trees. For Kaelen, it is the sound of survival in a world slowly dying under a curse. His people cower in submission to the land's monstrous sovereign, the King of Blue Ash, a being of shadow and dust who rules their desolate purgatory.But the generations of fragile peace are shattered when the King's horrifying servants steal Kaelen's younger sister, dragging her into the dead heart of the forest.Fueled by a furious grief and armed with forbidden knowledge of the curse's origin, Kaelen must abandon the timid rituals of his elders. He will hunt the monster in his own blighted kingdom. To save his sister, he must venture where no one has returned sane and confront the horrifying truth of his world. But in the land of the dead, challenging the King is a terrifying gamble, and the price of failure is a fate far worse than death.
