1. Ashes of War

In a world torn apart by war, Roy Celgius and his brother Andrew rise as heroes of the Devot Empire. After defeating the Polon Empire, they are chosen for an elite training program-meant to shape the next generation of leaders.

But the deeper Roy goes, the more he begins to question the system he's fighting for.

Meanwhile, Princess Lily of Drayton is a skilled warrior with a strong will. She is forced into a political marriage to merge two empires and start a war. When she and Roy meet again, old feelings resurface despite Roy having lost his memory.

As danger grows and war threatens to return, Roy and Lily must decide who to trust-and whether their love can survive in a world built on power, lies, and sacrifice.
