Embers of the Dead
In a world long shattered by war, Alina awakens from death—preserved, reanimated, and bound to a fate she never chose. Once a normal girl from a small village, she is now something else, something caught between life and death. Under the guidance of the enigmatic necromancer Thorne, Alina undergoes an agonizing yet transformative process, her body reshaped by ancient magic and forbidden science.
As she struggles to reclaim her humanity, she is thrust into a world she no longer recognizes—ruined cities, desperate survivors, and the eerie march of the undead who serve as tools rather than terrors. With each revelation, she learns the horrifying truth.
Yet, amidst the decay, hope lingers.
