Absolutely. Based on what you love—mythic resonance, emotional depth, noble magic, dragons, and a timeless feel—I’ve crafted the beginning of a new fantasy trilogy just for you. This is Book One of The Emberborn Chronicles™.
The Emberborn Chronicles™ – Book One: Ashes of the First Flame
PART I: THE SILENCE BEFORE THE SONG
Prologue: The Last Song of the Mages
Long ago, before kings ruled and dragons fell silent, the world was guarded by the Order of the Ember Flame—a sacred circle of mages who held the balance between fire and sky, stone and soul. Their power flowed from the First Flame, a living light said to be the breath of creation itself.
But the world grew greedy. Kingdoms forged machines of glass and shadow, and one by one, the mages fell—betrayed, hunted, forgotten.
And when the Last Flamekeeper whispered the final spell beneath the dying moon, the flame was hidden… and so was hope.
ACT I: A BOY IN THE WHISPERING VALE
Chapter One: The Shepherd and the Star
In the quiet green of Whispering Vale, far from the war-worn roads of kings and blades, lives Kaelen, a seventeen-year-old shepherd boy raised by a blind herbalist named Asha. He has no sword, no title—only dreams of a woman made of flame and a mountain that breathes.
Every night, he hears whispers in the wind. And on the eve of the Moonfall Festival, he finds a small emberstone glowing at the roots of the old whispering tree—cold to the touch, but alive with memory.
That night, the stars weep red fire. A dragon’s roar—thought to be extinct for a thousand years—shakes the skies.
Chapter Two: The Black Horseman
A rider arrives. Cloaked in iron shadows, he speaks not with words but with ash and ruin. The village burns. Kaelen flees, chased by night-beasts not born of this world.
Just before his death, a blade of light sears the dark—and an old man, robed in ember and time, saves him.
This is Elarion, last of the Flamewardens. He tells Kaelen:
“The First Flame breathes in you. And the world is waking.”
ACT II: THE PATH OF FORGOTTEN FIRE
Chapter Three: The Temple Beneath the World
Guided by Elarion, Kaelen embarks on a journey to the Temple of Ashes, hidden beneath a ruined city swallowed by the roots of the world. Along the way, they encounter:
• Nyra, a fierce runaway from the Iron Choir, trained in forbidden songs that bend metal and will
• Bran, an exile of royal blood, hiding from a war he once helped start
• Tessan, a wounded sky-drake, once guardian of the Ember Flame, now half-dead and maddened by guilt
As their fates tangle, Kaelen learns the flame he carries is not just magic—it’s memory, and it awakens not only power, but every ancient enemy it once defeated.
Chapter Four: The Enemy Beneath the Crown
In the northern cities, High Lord Velthar, the so-called Warden of Progress, has declared all magic extinct and heretical. But in truth, he communes with The Hollow Flame—a corrupted echo of the First, born in despair and silence. He knows Kaelen lives. He wants the flame. He believes it will rewrite the laws of life and death.
His servants?
The Nullbound—warriors of black stone and fireless rage, animated by shadow-tech and soul fragments.
ACT III: THE DRAGON, THE SONG, AND THE WOUND
Chapter Five: The Cave of Names
To awaken the full power of the Ember Flame, Kaelen must enter the Cave of Names, where the original dragons carved the first songs into the bones of the earth. There, he faces his greatest fear: he is not a savior. He is the final vessel of a forgotten spell meant to end magic forever, not save it.
But Nyra sings him back from the edge. She reveals a song only sung once before—by a queen who loved a dragon and burned the world to save it.
Chapter Six: The Last Ember Breaks
The group reaches the Tower of Embers, an ancient place of balance between sky, fire, and silence. Velthar is waiting. A battle of fire and steel erupts. Tessan the drake sacrifices himself to destroy the Nullbound horde, but not before whispering to Kaelen:
“You were never meant to carry the flame… You were meant to free it.”
Kaelen chooses not to wield the flame—but to release it back into the world, restoring magic, dragons, and memory. The sky cracks. A thousand slumbering ember-cores across the realm ignite. The Age of Ash is over.
The Age of Return begins.
Epilogue: And in the East… a Star Falls
Far away, in a land untouched by flame or frost, a black egg trembles in an ancient cavern.
And something watches.
It does not sleep.
It remembers.
And it is hungry.
