Two years after the Golden War, Amirand's nations are struggling to rebuild when young veteran Arcley Soara encounters a new threat: the Dismal Empire, emerging unprovoked from a forgotten land to the south and spilling fire across the countryside. Arcley and her friends race to learn about the Empire's mystical powers and give their nations a fighting chance—before the Empire brings to ruin everything they love.
The Ruin is an epic tale of war, loyalty, guilt, hope, naiveté, and growth—of daring struggles in a harsh and beautiful world.
Warning: The Ruin contains intense violence, mentions of sexual assault, and strong language. It may not be for everyone.
