The Ashen Annals of the Nine Realms is a sweeping fantasy epic rooted in Eastern mythology.
Legend says the heavens and earth are divided into nine realms, each home to different peoples, faiths, and civilizations. As the Heavenly Gate that maintains order across all worlds slowly loses its radiance, ancient secrets buried by time begin to surface. People from distant lands set out on journeys, searching for the source of the world's decline amid starry seas, cloud cities, barren plains, and the river of time.
They witness dynasties rise and fall and civilizations flourish and fade, while continuing to ask: Who has the right to write history? Do names, languages, and memories belong to those in power, or to every ordinary life?
From the birth of heaven and earth to an uncertain future, this is not only a fantastical tale spanning many eras, but also an annal of all living beings, about choice, forgiveness, watchfulness, and hope. When the fated path reaches its end, what truly decides the future is not a divine decree hanging beyond the heavens, but the tomorrow all living beings choose to write together.
