The day the Black Sun appeared, the flags of the Seven Kingdoms fell one by one.
A Lun Calder stood guard on the last city wall, watching his comrades die and their oaths shatter, as the gods' crown in the sky transformed into a black sun that swallowed the world.
In the final battle, he couldn't protect anyone.
When he opened his eyes again, A Lun had returned to twelve years earlier.
He was nineteen, freshly disowned by his family and being sent into exile at the kingdom's most barren frontier: Ashen Territory.
In a month, this land would be reduced to ruins by a beast tide. In three years, the kingdom would descend into civil war. In twelve years, the Black Sun would appear, bringing the world to its end.
A Lun's only advantage was the "Ember" from the future lodged in his soul.
By igniting the Ember, he could temporarily reclaim the power he once had, but the price was the permanent loss of a memory from the future.
The future he possesses is slowly turning to ash in his mind.
Short version: This is the story of a man who returned from the apocalypse and forged a dawn for the world with his own hands before he could forget the future.
The author is awesome. The novel is well written, very in-depth and fascinating. I am looking forward to reading more.
