Garden Of Poison By Ash Knight

Ash and Silence

In a world ravaged by the endless battles of the five Factions, the Burn Field stands as a grim testament to the futility of hope. This vast, ash-choked wasteland is home to the ashborn, a forgotten caste bound to the thankless labor of tending to the dead and erasing the past. For Xieren, existence in the Burn Field is a relentless cycle of survival, his only comfort found in the gruff companionship of his mentor, Fen, and the forbidden dreams he shares with Elia. Elia is a defiant spark in a world of endless gray, a beacon of stubborn hope in the face of crushing despair. Where Xieren sees only the unyielding reality of their imprisonment, Elia dares to imagine a life beyond the ash. But when Elia reveals a dangerous secret, her ability to wield the rare and enigmatic power known as Oryn - their fragile dream of escape suddenly becomes a tangible possibility. As Xieren and Elia embark on a perilous journey to master her newfound abilities, they find themselves caught between the grim warnings of Fen, who knows all too well the price of hope in a place like the Burn Field, and the searing intensity of their own desires. With each secret training session, each whispered promise, they inch closer to a chance at freedom... but also to the ever-watchful eyes of those who would see Elia's gift as a threat to be eliminated. In a world where the strong prey upon the weak and the dead are the only sure thing, Xieren must make a choice that will echo across the ages. Will he embrace the audacious hope that Elia represents, risking everything for a chance at a new life? Or will he heed Fen's dire warnings and resign himself to a slow death in the dust and ashes of the only world he's ever known?
