The Libri GmbH The Rebirth of Magick-The Ashen Bloom

From ash, sanctuary must grow.The old world is dead.Yellowstone has erupted. Cities have gone silent. Roads are broken beneath ash, hunger, fear, and wild growth. The systems that once held civilization together are gone, and the survivors left behind must learn a brutal truth: The apocalypse is not empty.It is alive.Adrian Crowe saved the people he could. Now he must keep them alive in a world where nature is reclaiming the ruins, the Living Field has surged back into power, and magick is no longer hidden, theoretical, or controlled by secret orders.It is awakening in everyone.Some become healers.Some become protectors.Some become monsters.As scattered communities rise and fall across the broken world, Adrian must secure water, food, shelter, medicine, defense, and trust while learning the new laws of a re-enchanted Earth. Old rituals begin to work. Wards hold. Oaths carry weight. Symbols ignite with meaning. Dreams become warnings. Mythic beings move at the edge of firelight.But power has returned to the cruel as well as the good.The Meridian Order has survived in fragments, and its old hierarchy wants to shape the future before anyone else understands what is happening. Adrian must decide what knowledge to preserve, what corruption to reject, and what kind of order can be built without repeating the sins of the old world.He does not want a throne.He does not want worship.He does not want control.But refusing leadership is no longer enough.If the reborn world is going to survive, someone must prove that discipline can protect without becoming domination.Someone must prove that magick can serve life.The Ashen Bloom is Book Two of The Rebirth of Magick, a post-apocalyptic fantasy trilogy about survival, awakened power, myth returning to the modern world, and the founding of a sanctuary where the future can begin.
