A fallen kingdom, a hidden heir, and a dangerous craft
Opening the Firemane Saga, King of Ashes builds its conflict from the betrayal and destruction of Ithrace, one of five kingdoms spanning the twin continents of Tembria. The aftermath reaches into two separate lives: an infant heir concealed and raised on Coaltachin, where the Nocusara train assassins and spies, and Declan, an orphaned weapons smith whose rare knowledge of forging King’s Steel puts him in jeopardy. Their converging paths connect questions of succession, political power, secret loyalties, and the unfinished legacy of the War of Betrayal. The novel establishes Garn as a world shaped by old covenants, rival realms, and skills that can alter the balance of power.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Epic-fantasy readers interested in contested thrones and kingdom-scale conflict
- Readers who enjoy intersecting storylines involving hidden identities and political intrigue

The first volume in legendary master and New York Times bestselling author Raymond E. Feist's epic heroic fantasy series, The Firemane Saga--an electrifying tale of two young men whose choices will determine a world's destiny.
For centuries, the five greatest kingdoms of North and South Tembria, twin continents on the world of Garn, have coexisted in peace. But the balance of power is destroyed when four of the kingdoms violate an ancient covenant and betray the fifth: Ithrace, the Kingdom of Flames, ruled by Steveren Langene, known as "the Firemane" for his brilliant red hair. As war engulfs the world, Ithrace is destroyed and the Greater Realms of Tembria are thrust into a dangerous struggle for supremacy.
As a Free Lord, Baron Daylon Dumarch owes allegiance to no king. When an abandoned infant is found hidden in Daylon's pavilion, he realizes that the child must be the missing heir of the slain Steveren. The boy is valuable--and vulnerable. A cunning and patient man, Daylon decides to keep the baby's existence secret, and sends him to be raised on the Island of Coaltachin, home of the so-called Kingdom of Night, where the powerful and lethal Nocusara, the "Hidden Warriors," legendary assassins and spies, are trained.
Years later, another orphan of mysterious provenance, a young man named Declan, earns his Masters rank as a weapons smith. Blessed with intelligence and skill, he unlocks the secret to forging King's Steel, the apex of a weapon maker's trade known by very few. Yet this precious knowledge is also deadly, and Declan is forced to leave his home to safeguard his life. Landing in Lord Daylon's provinces, he hopes to start anew.
Soon, the two young men--an unknowing rightful heir to a throne and a brilliantly talented young swordsmith--will discover that their fates, and that of Garn, are entwined. The legendary, long-ago War of Betrayal has never truly ended . . . and they must discover the secret of who truly threatens their world.
