Of Gods and Ashes

Synopsis

Of Gods and Ashes is the fifth and final novel in Ryan Cahill's The Bound and the Broken, bringing the story that began with Of Blood and Fire to its close. The publisher's full synopsis has not been released yet; the only confirmed line so far is the announced tagline: "Gods are waking. The world is burning. Ashes and dust are all that will remain." The novel follows directly from Of Empires and Dust to conclude the war across Epheria and the fates of the series' returning cast — Calen Bryer, Dahlen Virandr, Dayne Ateres, Rist Havel, Eltoar, and Kallinvar among them.
