World:
Like it's explained in "A broken world" narrated by Adham (all I can say right now about him is that he's trapped in a place. His back story would be revealed later), Mages and moonwalkers (supernatural creatures) have been at war for centuries. The last war ended up shedding a lot of blood so the ancestors came up with a peace treaty to hold, well... peace.
This is the world in which Lina is given a second chance at life, but her contractor djinn didn't explain much to her before wiping her old memories. Now she's quite literally stuck in a child's body. The same child Zeke and Emire find when they're going through a banquet full of corpses.
It's written from the alternating perspectives of three narrators; Adham, Zeke and Lina.
'Forged from ashes' is my attempt at telling a story about found families.
