The Silent Ashes. ASHENBORN CHRONICLES, #1

Ashenborn: The Silent AshesIn a world scarred by war, one boy survives a night of fire and blood, holding onto a single promise: to live. Kaelion's village is gone, his family taken by cruelty. His heart hangs between vengeance and hope. As he grows, trained by a mysterious mentor and tested by a world that seems determined to break him, Kaelion hears stories of a past war that still haunts the living.
This was a war fought by heroes and monsters whose names have become legends. Shadows move in the corners of his world. Unseen forces pull at his fate, suggesting that the boy who survived might be the key to a war yet to come. But destiny is never kind. Every choice could lead him toward darkness or shape him into the hero the world desperately needs. In the first book of the Ashenborn Chronicles, a new legend begins - and nothing will ever be the same.
