Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "In a world where the sun is dead, the last immortal Sunborn must decide: remain in chains or become the monster they once feared him to be." When the sun darkened in the sky, it took the age of gods with it. For nearly fifty years, the world has languished under a dimming sky as crops wither, kingdoms crumble, and ancient magics fade to whispers. The legendary Sunborn-once immortal champions of divine light-have been hunted to extinction, blamed for the catastrophe that doomed the world to darkness. Deep in the labyrinthine depths of Kharag Zhul, a vast prison-city built to contain the world's most dangerous outcasts, the last living Sunborn rots in chains. Riven Khael, stripped of his divine power and cursed to never die, has spent decades in silent penance for a betrayal he may not have committed. His stoic exterior masks centuries of shame and rage, his immortality now a curse in a world that despises him. But everything changes when the dying sun unexpectedly flares to life for the first time in decades. That brief spark awakens something ancient beneath the prison: a fragment of the sun's heart, pulsing with impossible power. As word spreads through Kharag Zhul, factions mobilize with ruthless intent. The fanatical Ember Veil cult believes the fragment can resurrect their dead god through blood sacrifice. The Chainbound, immortals unable to die, see it as their path to true liberation. The prophetic Mourning Choir sings of apocalypse and rebirth, while the fallen paladins of the Hollow Guard struggle to maintain order as their world unravels. Amid the growing chaos, Riven finds unlikely allies: Lira, a blind seer whose visions pierce through time itself; Maeric, a charming thief concealing a terminal illness who leads a secret rebellion; and Kato, an irreverent immortal who uses humor to mask ancient weariness. Together, they must navigate the prison-city's deadly politics while evading Vaurin, the calculating Warden who seeks to harness the sun's power for his own twisted ambitions. As Riven's dormant powers begin to stir, he faces a devastating choice: escape a world that reviles him, or reclaim his divine heritage and fight for a civilization that hunted his kind to extinction. The answer lies within the fallen Eternal Dawn Citadel, where ancient secrets await-and where the true cause of the sun's death may finally be revealed. In a masterful blend of gritty epic fantasy and mythic storytelling, "Ashes of the Sunborn" explores redemption, divinity, and the price of hope in a dying world. For when gods can die and light itself becomes memory, what remains may be darker than the absence of the sun."For fans of Brandon Sanderson's intricate magic systems, Joe Abercrombie's morally complex characters, and the haunting atmosphere of Planescape: Torment, this tale of fallen divinity will burn itself into your imagination long after the final page."
