The Kings Ashes
**Ethan Draycott**, a once-revered war hero, returns home after years of battle to find his wife, **Liora**, has betrayed him—declaring him dead, stealing his wealth, and marrying his treacherous steward, **Cedric Veyne**. Beaten and left for dead, Ethan is consumed by vengeance. With the help of **Kael the Ghost**, a shadowy underworld figure, he uncovers Cedric’s treasonous dealings with their kingdom’s enemies.
One by one, Ethan hunts down those who wronged him. He confronts Liora, forcing her to admit she never loved him before killing her. He then murders Cedric, exposing his crimes to the kingdom. With the people’s support, Ethan overthrows the corrupt king, seizing the throne for himself.
Years later, **King Ethan** rules with ruthless justice, shaped by betrayal. He trusts no one—because the wolf does not forgive.
