Kings of Paradise (Ash and Sand Book 1)

"Kings of Paradise" is a gripping saga that intertwines the fates of two vastly different yet equally compelling characters: Ruka, a deformed outcast driven by vengeance, and Kale, a prince struggling to prove himself in a world of privilege and expectation. Set against the backdrop of a richly imagined low-fantasy world, their journeys unfold with gripping intensity.

Ruka, labeled a demon from birth, harbors a burning hatred for those who shunned him, while Kale, a prince forced into an unexpected path, seeks to carve out his own destiny. As their paths converge, their choices will shape the fate of their world, teetering on the brink of greatness or ruin.

With accolades such as the 2018 IRDA for fantasy and praise likening it to George R.R. Martin's masterwork, "Kings of Paradise" promises a dark and immersive tale filled with political intrigue, moral complexity, and unforgettable characters. Richard Nell's skillful storytelling transports readers to a world where ash meets paradise, where the struggle for power and identity unfolds in stunning detail.
