Ash

The Pendulum #2

by Eric J. Hull, C.M. Stultz

Jenora is lost. Are her friends truly dead? And what is the nature of the burning pillar of fire that they left behind? The young monk Pol is sent to study the mysterious pyre and explore the magic that gave it life. But when he meets Jenora, his heart is tested in ways he could never have predicted. Joined by Ash, a being whose very existence poses new questions, they seek the source of the pyre’s magic – the prison holding the Pendulum, raging and insane behind the ancient walls of the Chaos Shield. The story begun in Pyre continues with new characters, new settings, and new adventures in wonder, light, darkness, and magic.
