New Ashes Short Novel: Embers Beneath the Stone

Our second short novel (fan fiction, of course) based in Verra is now available. This one took a while to get together and I'd love to hear feedback. You can find the PDF version as well as an MP3 audiobook at www.aocbot.com. The audiobook version is a 2.5 hour long story.
When the Divine Gates flare and exiles set foot upon the moss-grown bones of Aela, they find not silence, but the watch of those who never fled: the Tulnar of the deep. Zurak, hunter of Kal’Zul, carries the Underrealm’s night in his blood and an old grievance in his heart—until a broken parley spills blood upon the ancient stones and wakes a darkness long sealed.

As Corruption seeps through river and root and the very Essence groans, unlikely fellowship is forged: a Kaelar healer whose light does not falter, an Empyrean ranger with lore of elder wars, a Ren’Kai warrior sworn by iron oath—and a Tulnar who must choose between vengeance and the perilous road of mercy. From caverns of ghost-blue fungi to storm-scoured battlements, they hunt the name whispered in dread: Malikaar, champion of the Ancients.

A tale of exile and return, of enemies made kindred, and of embers long-hidden fanned toward dawn. Step through the Gate, and tread Verra reborn.
