THE EMBER PATH
Exiled. Broken. Reborn.
​
Nino Lombard was never meant to become a hero.
​
Disgraced, exiled, and haunted by the choices that led to the fall of Johrun, he finds himself cast into the unforgiving deserts of Battonia with little more than his wits and a stubborn determination to survive.
​
But while the Magister tightens his grip on the kingdom, whispers of rebellion spread across the sands. Drawn into a struggle far greater than himself, Nino must navigate shifting alliances, hidden dangers, and the growing burden of a destiny he never sought.
​
As old loyalties are tested and ancient secrets begin to emerge, Nino faces a choice: remain trapped by the mistakes of his past, or become the man Battonia needs him to be.
​
A tale of exile, resilience, and hope, The Ember Path continues the epic journey of the Way of the Wands series, where even the smallest spark has the power to change the course of history.
MEET NINO
Page of Wands. Soldier. Exile.
​
Once a loyal guard in service to the Magister, Nino Lombard has lost everything he thought defined him—his position, his purpose, and the future he believed awaited him.
​
Cast into exile and forced to survive in the harsh deserts of Battonia, Nino soon discovers that freedom can be every bit as frightening as captivity.
Haunted by past mistakes and burdened by the mark of his former allegiance, he must decide whether he is doomed to remain the man he was—or become someone entirely new.
​
Resourceful, resilient, and far kinder than he realises, Nino possesses a rare gift: the ability to find hope where others see only ashes.
​
For while a flame may falter, it is never truly extinguished.
​
It simply finds a new way to burn.

Fire Is Power
​
Battonia is a land of blazing deserts, volcanic mountains and ancient temples.
​
For centuries, the Magister has ruled through fear, controlling both faith and magic.
​
Yet old prophecies speak of a shattered wand, lost heirs, and a day when the flames will rise again.
​
Domita's journey marks the beginning of that reckoning.
