The Ashgate Fortress is known to many as the most gruesome place in all of Arkaemor. Screams from below the ancient Monastery reveal the torment of its prisoners. And yet, within this penitentiary of despair lies the only pathway to hope.

When Orion wakes, he's saturated with evidence of the Queen's torture, both inside and out. As the world collapses around him, he escapes to the Grim Wilds where he finds more questions than answers.

Jericho awaits the return of the Prince, and Orion holds the keys, but does he have what it takes to face the deadly prison and set Alexander and the others free?

Amidst all fate throws his way-monsters and magic, a tribe of fierce warriors, and a princess who insists on remaining at his side-Orion will face his most difficult battle of all...his heart.

Greed or sacrifice.

Cowardice or courage.

Death or salvation.

All legends are forged in fire, but when held against the flame, will he rise from the ashes?

Or will he burn?
