Ashen Vein

di Kieran Hale (Autore)

Antillas Publishing House, 2026

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In Anthracite, the floor is lava. Literally. Built atop the Perpetual Fire, the mining city of Anthracite is a crumbling metropolis sinking inch by inch into a burning underworld. Ash falls like snow, the basements glow red, and survival depends on how well you can handle the heat. Juno is a Heat-Mapper. Cold, logical, and numbed by trauma, she walks the scorching "Crust" barefoot, using her senses to detect the temperature shifts that signal a deadly collapse. She is the city's early warning system, a woman who has turned herself into ice to survive the fire. Dax is a Vent-Capper. A criminal serving a life sentence in the Deep Seams, he spends his days manually sealing the fissures where the inferno breaches the surface. Covered in burn scars and radiating a body heat so intense it blisters the air around him, he is volatile, dangerous, and untouchable. When a catastrophic breach threatens the Aristocracy District, Juno is hired to guide Dax into the burning tunnels to seal it. But the descent into the fire reveals terrifying truths: the city isn't just burning coal, and Dax isn't just a prisoner. Forced into a brutal partnership where the environment tries to cook them alive, the icy mapper and the burning convict discover a magnetic, ruinous attraction. He craves her coldness. She craves his fire. But in a city built on an inferno, spark doesn't just ignite passion—it causes an explosion.
