In an age when gods still walked among mortals, a world was born from elemental harmony-and torn apart by betrayal, ambition, and divine fire.
Rise, Fall, and Flame tells the mythic beginnings of Warthra: the forging of the Seven Races, the banishment of the Devourer Aubis, and the arrival of Valriun Stormlight-the Flameborn child of silence and starlight. As the forces of shadow awaken and ancient oaths fracture, the world teeters on the brink of collapse. From the unity of mankind to the forging of the Anurai Blade and the rise of the Blackstar Legion, this first volume traces the lineage of heroes and the cost of memory in a world shaped by flame.
When legends are born in fire, what survives is not always the light.
