tomorrows book

Embers of the First Age follows Kael Dawnridge, a disgraced cartographer hiding from his past in a dying border town, who stumbles upon a living, breathing map — the Verdant Key — that makes him the most hunted man in a world still scarred by catastrophe three centuries old. Pursued by the Iron Regent''''s elite soldiers and a shadowy organization dedicated to burying the past, Kael reluctantly partners with a sharp-edged contractor named Tolla and a relentless young archivist named Pell, racing across a broken continent to unlock the Key''''s secrets before the people chasing him can take it — or end him. At its heart, it''''s a story about a man who stopped making things that mattered, slowly discovering he can''''t.
