Kings of Ash

by Raymond E. Feist · 2018

Kings of Ash is the second volume of Richard Nell's Ash and Sand trilogy. The novel continues the bloody, epic trek of Ruka, son of Beyla, as he traverses the islands of Pyu and the frozen wastes of the Ascom. Along the way he confronts the return of the Sorcerer‑Prince Ratama Kale Alaku and the terrifying rise of his "miracles". As ancient histories unravel and hidden connections surface, the characters learn the terrible cost of unleashing the titular Kings of Ash. The story blends dark, high‑fantasy world‑building with a coming‑of‑age arc and a climactic, cinematic final battle.
