The Promise of Brotherhood
(2026)(The second book in the Ashes and Ruin series)
A novel by JD Glasscock
FROM THE AUTHOR OF NOCTURNE, COMES A NEW SERIES!!!!
A YOUNG COMMANCHE WARRIOR WHO DIED BEFORE HE EVER GOT TO LIVE....
ASHES AND RUIN: THE BOY WHO NEVER WASAn Isekai LitRPG
He was born too small to be a warrior.
Too fragile for the world that demanded strength.
And doomed to die forgotten.
Sparrow is Comanche—son of a war chief, heir to a legacy of hunters and fighters—but disease stole the body he was meant to have. While others ride to glory, he is left behind to guard the camp… until the world proves that survival is never fair.
When soldiers descend in fire and gun smoke, Sparrow makes a final stand that turns myth into blood-soaked truth. He dies a warrior at last.
And that should have been the end.
Instead, Sparrow awakens in Tir Na Nog, a brutal world of magic, monsters, and living systems where power is earned—or taken. Here, gods bargain, death is temporary, and strength decides everything. Given a second life, a restored body, and bound to a dying trickster god, Sparrow must carve his place in a realm that makes no allowances for weakness.
This is not a story about chosen ones handed easy power.
This is a story about earning it.
Ashes and Ruin blends historical tragedy, Indigenous myth, and hard-edged LitRPG progression into a tale of identity, rage, honor, and rebirth. It asks a simple question:
If you were denied your destiny once… what would you become when given another chance.
Sparrow has made a friend in this new world, and one he will not abandon.
