Age of Ash

"Ashes of Time" is the first book in a fantasy trilogy about the city of Kitamar and its people, written by Daniel Abraham, known for his involvement in the space opera "The Expanse".

Kitamar is an ancient city famed for its history of trade and wealth. Thousands of people live there, and their fates intertwine.

The central character is a girl named Alis. When her brother is murdered, she decides to investigate the crime. But as she uncovers the killer’s secrets, she also discovers the dark side of her own past.

Alis is drawn into intrigues as old as Kitamar itself. She must choose her own fate—one that may change everything else.

This book delivers epic fantasy set over a single tumultuous year in Kitamar. "Ashes of Time" is a masterfully woven tapestry that grips you with its mysteries and leaves you waiting for the sequel.

The city of Kitamar comes alive through a complex world and subtle magic, and its creation evokes associations with the works of Scott Lynch and Robert Jackson Bennett.
