The Ash Solstice: Book III - The Watchman's Burden

by Keenan Delaney

AI — cover

Lightfall is dying. The Watch is still answering the call. As ash falls beneath a violet sun and something unnatural takes hold of the city, the survivors of the City Watch struggle to protect those who remain. Orders must be followed. People must be found. The Watchman’s Burden is a survival-horror novella of duty, loss, and ordinary people holding the line against the impossible. Set within The Ash Solstice universe, this is a complete standalone story—no knowledge of Books I or II is required.
