An ancient Darkness has come to consume the world, but no one speaks of it. A red eclipse stains the sky. The Order whispers of prophecy. The Empire tightens its grip. In the heart of an outlawed encampment, a weary traveller returns with a secret that could doom them all—a silver-haired woman, unconscious, untouched by the road, carrying a presence that does not belong to this world. To harbor her is treason. To turn her away is unthinkable. Madam Bo, the encampment’s matriarch, must make an impossible choice—protect her people or follow the pull of something greater than herself. But the Order is coming. And in the depths of the wilds, something stirs—something hungry, something relentless. The Eon is ending. What rises from its new cycle will change everything. A gritty fantasy tale of prophecy, war, love and sacrifice. And those caught in between trying to survive.For readers who love grounded, intricate worldbuilding, slow-burn tension, and high-stakes intrigue.
