Awoken Forest

When the stars dance, chaos will reshape the world.

In the shadowy depths of the garjee forests, the Rahsu people of Arbonar gather for the sacred Manna Rites, unaware that their world is on the edge of chaos. The arrival of an unexpected stranger disrupts the ancient festival, setting in motion a series of events no one could have predicted.

As the Rahsu are thrust into a perilous journey, they must confront dark secrets hidden not only within their own land but across distant stars. Ancient forces, long dormant, are awakening, threatening to unravel reality and tear their world apart.

Olbi, a young hunter plagued by haunting visions, searches for his place in a world suddenly full of peril. Liran, shattered by unbearable loss, struggles to keep her grief from consuming her. And Zillah, the captain of the enigmatic Unity spacecraft, hurtles toward a destiny intertwined with forces beyond her control.

One truth lingers in the shadows: someone knows more than they're letting on-and they'll stop at nothing to keep the world's darkest secrets buried.

Ashes of the Injai is the debut novel in Wesley Croft's thrilling new sci-fi series, weaving mystery, history, and the fate of an empire into an unforgettable saga.
