The mountain offers redemption. But not without a price.
Julian of Dysael arrives at Mount Ulfer seeking a new life among the Brotherhood, a monastic order shrouded in legend and perched high above the corrupt city of Re'shan. But when a meteor crashes into the mountain, destroying the Grand Chapel and killing many of the monks, something far darker awakens.
From the wreckage, the survivors salvage a strange metal unlike anything seen before. It's powerful, radiant, and deeply corrupting. As the monks craft it into sacred relics, they begin to change. Whispers echo through the stone halls. Madness takes root.
Below, in the sunbaked alleys of Re'shan, a gang of street children led by sharp-eyed Cassie suspects the horror spreading through their city is tied to the mountain above. Julian, untouched by the metal's curse, begins to question the Brotherhood's path.
As murders mount and children vanish, Julian and Cassie must uncover the truth behind the cursed ore and the evil it has unleashed, before the fire consuming Mount Ulfer descends upon Re'shan.
Fires of Atonement is a gripping fantasy of devotion, deception, and the high cost of absolution. For fans of epic worldbuilding, dark secrets, and slow-burning suspense.
