Vault of Ash: Oathbound Relics Book 2

Kael escaped the gallows by binding a forbidden sentient relic-only to discover the mark on his throat isn't a scar... it's a signal.Now the Ash March is swallowing the world in cinder-gray silence, and the second anchor-the Ashheart-waits inside a living vault built to punish intention. With Wardens closing fast, rival relic-hunters in the dark, and the shadow in his skull growing bolder, Kael has one shot: break the Vault, steal its fire, and get his wounded ally out alive.But the Ashheart is more than power. It's a key-one that lights a path to the next relic... and to a market that sells reflections for the price of your name.Fast-paced, dark fantasy with relic-magic, heists, deadly trials, and escalating stakes. Start with Book 1 (The Oathbound Relic) for the full arc-then step into the ash.
