A Legacy of Ashes - Hardcover

by Z. R. McCormick (Author)

Orphaned siblings. A misfit crew. One heist that could topple an empire.

The streets are all Esta knows. No parents, no home. Only her brother, Rivan, and their fight to survive in one of the world's last free nations. When a job for the Thieves' Guild brings more questions than coin, it's not only their bond that's tested. Everything they believed about their parents' fate is thrown into doubt. But a life free from the slums and all the answers they want are within reach, if only they'll take one last job. In the Empire.

Esta must decide if she's willing to risk everything to help a group of spies her parents once aided. Her choice could shake the very foundation of the most powerful and ruthless empire Esta's world has ever known. But to the spies' enigmatic leader, motives matter, even hers. What happens when life isn't about survival, but answering, what do you love enough to die for?

A Legacy of Ashes is a standalone companion novella to The Oathsworn Chronicles series and is the tragic tale of freedom fighters who uncovered the ancient secret behind the Empire's rise to dominance.
