Ashes of the Feathered War
(2025)(The first book in the Aetherion Cycle series)
A novel by Keith Robertson
When an unscheduled Aetherion Falling shatters the sky above Caelvarin, stable boy Tarn is thrust into a world of forbidden magic. Accidentally bound to Kestrel, an ancient command-tier spirit, Tarn gains impossible wings and immense power, becoming a target of the Crown's ruthless Royal Aetheric Corps.
Forced to flee, Tarn uncovers a hidden history of Featherbinding—a natural partnership between humans and spirits—systematically suppressed by the Crown's "Sovereign Protocol," which seeks to control and weaponize magic. His journey from a hidden stable boy to a pivotal catalyst for a global awakening challenges the established order, revealing a grand conspiracy that twisted history and enslaved spirits.
As the world teeters on the brink of a leyweb collapse, Tarn must embrace his unique connection to Kestrel and an acerbic Aether Construct named Pyx to restore ancient truths, liberate captive spirits, and ignite a "Great Awakening" that will forever rewrite the sky and the very nature of magic. 'Ashes of the Feathered War' is an epic fantasy of profound transformation, challenging power, and the enduring fight for freedom and truth.
