He was their firstborn — and their biggest mistake. Jedidiah gave them everything: loyalty, silence, love. But when his parents’ marriage collapsed, so did his place in the world. His mother ran into the arms of his father's best friend. His father found comfort in a wealthy widow with a bitter heart and two cruel children. Suddenly, Jedidiah was nothing — pushed aside, bullied at school, mocked at home, and eventually thrown into the streets like trash. But ashes don’t stay buried forever. Years later, the family that broke him is falling apart. The company is bleeding. The lies are surfacing. And the only one who can save them... is the son they left behind. But Ethan didn’t come back for forgiveness. He came back for power. For truth. For himself. Ashes of Blood and Betrayal is a jaw-dropping family drama about pain, survival, and the silent strength of the forgotten. This is not just a story of revenge — it’s a story of rebirth.

In a world scarred by the fall of gods and the blood of heroes, the story of Ash and Betrayal continues. Kael and Lyra, reborn as Dren and Seris, awaken to a land ruled by warlords, god cults, and an ancient darkness stirring beneath the earth. Their forgotten past haunts them, drawing them into a war older than memory. As the ruthless Pale Court rises, led by a mysterious Nameless King and Kael’s treacherous brother Darren Veyne, the scattered realms teeter on the brink of ruin. Shadows of old gods whisper in lost temples, cursed bloodlines awaken, and a long-dead prophecy stirs. Bound by fate and shattered love, Dren and Seris must gather the forsaken, unravel ancient betrayals, and face the brutal truth of their past lives. But every choice comes with a price and the world they seek to save may be beyond redemption. Old enemies return, new horrors rise, and a final reckoning approaches. In this war of gods, monsters, and cursed hearts, love is a weapon and betrayal the deadliest blade.

1.Warning: The story contains moments of mutilation and violence. 2.There are visual images hidden in the comments, don't miss them! _______________________________ I'm not a warrior. I'm not a heroine. I'm the one who draws where they fell. When everyone is rushing into battle, I draw the borders. When one shouts "forward!", another "hold your shield!" - I mark where the earth crunches differently. I'm a cartographer. A documentarian. An eyewitness. A witness. Not a participant. Why? Because when someone writes "victory", I want to know how many corpses are left behind this word. Because I was not chosen. I was chosen. The guild did not accept me right away. "Like, a girl with a map, who needs you if you can't shoot, cut, heal?" Then my route was saved by the squad. My drawing led them out of a trap. And then it turned out that a map on which every bush and corpse is marked is needed more than a pompous swordsman. I will not become a legend. But I know where she went wrong. And that's enough for me.

Like some prize?” He laughed darkly, maniacally and threateningly. “No. I’m going to make you want me. Make you need me. Until you can’t remember why you ever tried to leave.” Her hands trembled, but she didn’t pull away. “And if I fight?” His eyes blazed. “Then I’ll break you. Piece by piece. Because you belong to me.” She swallowed the fire threatening to spill out. “I’m not yours.” “Not yet.” His lips brushed her ear. “But soon enough, you will be.” ****** Rose: "I ran from death. And he gave me a new name–his." Damien: "She was never mine to take. So I claimed her by force."
