Ashes of Ambition
By Kenneth Thomas
What would you sacrifice to rewrite the laws of existence?
In a world where alchemy rules and ambition can shape destiny, Orran Darrow stands at the precipice of greatness—and disaster. A brilliant but flawed alchemist, Orran has spent his life defying limits. His crowning achievement, the Eternal Core, promises to unravel the mysteries of time, transcend mortality, and elevate humanity to new heights. But as the spark of his ambition ignites, it threatens to burn everything in its wake.
Inside the shadowed halls of Orran's laboratory, ancient tomes and glowing glyphs bear witness to his tireless pursuit of perfection. With every pulse of the Core, Orran inches closer to a breakthrough that could redefine reality itself. Yet not everyone shares his vision. Rendall, his sharp-witted apprentice, and the powerful Guilds that dominate alchemical society, warn of catastrophic consequences. Their voices are drowned by Orran's certainty—until the night his creation fractures.
The resulting explosion leaves Orran's lab in ruins and his dream on the brink of collapse. Undeterred, he resolves to rebuild, convinced that the failure was but a step toward triumph. But as fissures widen in both the Core and his relationships, Orran discovers that ambition without caution may cost him more than he ever imagined.
When the Core's energy spirals beyond his control, the consequences ripple far beyond the walls of his lab—drawing the attention of the Guild Council. Faced with scrutiny and the loss of his funding, Orran must navigate a treacherous political landscape where allies are scarce, and betrayal lurks in every shadow.
The Guildmaster, a woman of sharp intellect and even sharper authority, offers Orran one last chance: stabilize the Core or see his life's work erased. But as tensions mount and loyalties are tested, Orran realizes that the greatest threat lies not in his enemies but within himself.
Ashes of Ambition is a tale of brilliance and hubris, where the line between progress and destruction blurs with every choice. As Orran's obsession deepens, the cost of his ambition becomes clear—not just to himself, but to those who dared to believe in him.
In this gripping alchemical fantasy, Kenneth Thomas weaves a story of innovation and peril, exploring themes of ambition, betrayal, and the thin line between creation and chaos. With richly detailed worldbuilding, morally complex characters, and a plot brimming with tension, Ashes of Ambition will captivate fans of Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, and anyone who has ever grappled with the price of greatness.
Dive into the world of Ashes of Ambition and discover a story where ambition burns brighter than the stars—but at what cost?
