Ashborne

Earth is burning.

High above the surface, the last survivors hide in a floating citadel while firestorms consume everything below. Cities are gone. Oceans boil. The planet itself has turned against humanity.

Kael Thorne was once a decorated soldier.

Now he's an exile sent on suicide missions into the wasteland.

But when a salvage run goes wrong, Kael discovers something impossible buried beneath the ash — a suit of living armor forged from the heart of the fire itself.

The armor remembers every warrior who wore it before.

Every one of them failed.

Now it has chosen him.

To save the world, Kael must bond with an ancient planetary defense system gone mad… and face an enemy made of pure flame.

If he loses, Earth burns forever.

If he wins, he may have to sacrifice everything — even himself.

Ashborne Rising is a fast-paced sci-fi novella packed with cinematic action, ancient technology, and heroic sacrifice — perfect for fans of armored heroes, post-apocalyptic worlds, and epic last-stand stories.
