When Liam Thorne was eight years old, his uncle had his family murdered and buried the truth under a billion-dollar empire. He survived. No one was supposed to know. Now he is twenty-six, back in New York under a different name, sitting across the dinner table from the man who ordered his mother's death — and building the case that will take everything Marcus Thorne built and return it to ash. But the closer he gets to justice, the more he discovers: his father is alive. The man who planned the attack is still free. And Marcus Thorne will burn the world down before he lets a dead man's son destroy him. Heir to the Ashes is a story about what survives when everything is taken. About the patience it takes to rebuild something from nothing. About a father who prepared for the worst and a son who came back to make sure the worst was the last thing Marcus Thorne ever delivered. The walls held. Now it was time to collect.
