The Ashborn (Guardians of Alistile #2) by Samantha Vargas:
 
After surviving the battle in Dalelry and unraveling the lies of the King of River Storm, Kienna finds refuge in Dove Port with Moira. Apprenticing under an infamous woodcarver, she uncovers pieces of her heritage that reveal a far greater purpose, one tied to an ancient name whispered only in myth: The Ashborn. In that purpose, she learns the weight of trust…and that love may not be the weakness she once feared. Meanwhile, whispers of rebellion spread through the realm of Alistile as her fellow Guardians carve their own paths. Deep in the forest, Danek pledges himself to Connak and the Hollow Blades, while Broan journeys to the frozen mountains to secure an alliance with the reclusive Mountainborn Vikings. Moira grapples with visions she cannot yet decipher, even as her growing bond with Tislin lights a new warmth in the dark. They knew escaping River Storm would not end Vaerin’s reach. But as ancient shadow magic stirs at his command and long-buried truths rise to the surface, the fragile balance between Elvish, Viking, and human realms fractures. The Guardians trained to protect River Storm. Now, they must become the spark that ignites its downfall.
