In the shadow of the Exodus, a new fire rises… When a mysterious band of ash-cloaked riders threatens to burn everything in their path, a young woman named Mara finds herself swept into a desperate mission with Ammiel, a warrior bound by duty, and Shadar, a guide who knows too much about the enemy's ways. Their pursuit leads them deep into the Ashlands—a place where the earth breathes fire and the air whispers of ancient things best left undisturbed. There, they uncover a terrible truth: the riders serve not to conquer, but to awaken something far worse. With only a single vessel of "old fire" as their weapon, Mara must choose between saving her people or sealing herself inside the burning land forever. Inspired by the heart of Exodus and the enduring words, "The Lord, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness," this epic tale blends biblical history, high-stakes adventure, and the unshakable power of God's mercy. Faith will be tested. Courage will be forged. And mercy will stand in the fire.
