Rise of Iron

The Tredania Chronicles, Book One

Sarah J. Hoodlet
——–
A cataclysm is coming.

Emery has only ever wanted to keep the cave city of Oraden safe. So, when a tremor that feels like a warning shakes her to the core, she leaves to get help from the Gold Wrights in the capital.

In the shadow of the volcano the Gold Wrights revere, the High Chancellor hears Emery’s plea, but refuses to believe her. Held captive in an unfamiliar city, Emery must come to terms with the fact that she’s failed her people. Again. But when she befriends the handsome Lead Wright assigned to watch her, she discovers truths about society—truths about herself—that change everything.

Beneath the volcano, a new class is rising. If Emery can move beyond the memories of her tragic past, she’ll discover her true power and guide society into the future. Unless an eruption propels them first.

Rise of Iron is the first book in The Tredania Chronicles, a new romantic fantasy series from the author of The Way of the Wielder. Venture into a world where metal magic determines who rules nations, and where one woman’s destiny changes the fate of Tredania forever.
