Majesty of Stone

The divine order is beginning to crack.

Long ago, a divine being known as the Ever-Seer saved four nations from the world-ending Devastation of the Vynn, sealing humanity behind impenetrable walls and binding civilization to four decrees. War between nations became a schedule. Disobedience became death. Then, twenty years ago, the Ever-Seer vanished-leaving the nations isolated and the future uncertain.

For generations, the Ember Nation has been divided in two. Now, two sisters anticipate coronations that they believe will finally reunite the kingdoms. Siphelle Amair possesses almost none of the magical ember that powers the Ember Nation, and clings to the hope that a divine gift during the coronation ceremony will finally make her worthy. Fiametta Ducrow wields a legendary reservoir of ember, but a lifetime of praise has left her unprepared to rule. As the coronation nears, the princesses are forced to confront how little they truly understand about the traditions shaping their world-and the cost of obeying them.

Beyond Ember's borders, Dyre Nation commander Colton Levoux serves at the massive Barricade, the most feared military structure in the world. But when a weapons failure during a decisive battle with the Ember Nation exposes secrets buried deep within Dyre's war machines, his pursuit of advancement pulls him into a perilous web of politics and power.

In a land where the sky is eternally gray and shadows do not move, the answers to long-buried questions demand sacrifice. And the world the Ever-Seer saved may not be what it seems.
