Paths of Magic: Ashes and Songs

Paths of Magic: Ashes and Songs is the first volume in a saga that plunges readers into a world where magic is ancient, unstable, and rarely generous.Heroc, Elara, and their companions journey through forgotten villages, forests that should not breathe, and cities where not everyone is what they seem. What begins as an ordinary journey soon reveals something far greater-and far more disturbing-than any of them are prepared to face.In this world, there are no untouched heroes. Every choice comes at a price. Loyalty can fracture under pressure, and the line between protecting and destroying is thinner than it seems. Magic is no miracle. It is a tool, a risk, and sometimes, a source of corruption.Along the way, each of them will be forced to confront not only the enemies before them, but also what is quietly growing within.Some resist. Others surrender. None emerge unchanged.
