A shadow has fallen over the Tressian Republic.
Ruling families - once protectors of justice and democracy - now plot against one another with sharp words and sharper knives. Blinded by ambition, they remain heedless of the threat posed by the invading armies of the Hadari Empire.
Yet as Tressia falls, heroes rise.
Viktor Akadra is the Republic's champion. A warrior without equal, he hides a secret that would see him burned as a heretic.
Josiri Trelan is Viktor's sworn enemy. A political prisoner, he dreams of reigniting his mother's failed rebellion.
Calenne Trelan doesn't share her brother's desire for revolution. Instead she seeks only to break free of their shared legacy and forge a new life for herself.
As war spreads across the Republic, these three must set aside their differences in order to save their homeland. However, decades of bad blood are not easily forgotten - victory will demand a darker price than any of them could have imagined.
Legacy of Ash is an epic tale of war and revolution, packed with vicious intrigue, ancient magic and a host of memorable characters - an unmissable fantasy debut from an exciting new British talent.

This was an ambitious book that just fell a little short of the mark for me.
The Positives: I thought there was a good balance between the magical elements of the world and the political realities. The magic on show...
