Synopsis
Ashborne: The Hidden Ember They told her Ashborne was a path to power. They lied. At the academy of the Six Houses, candidates are not trained—they are tested, controlled, and discarded. Every trial is designed to expose weakness. Every failure is erased. Allison was never meant to survive the first cut. But something answers when she refuses to break. Something the system doesn’t understand. As alliances fracture and the Houses tighten their grip, Allison is forced deeper into a structure built to control power at any cost. Because in Ashborne, strength isn’t enough. You have to become something else. Something they cannot contain.
