Ten years have passed since the Nightfinder set foot in his home country, Candor. Ten years since his master died stopping the Shadefall. But now, Verac, Nightfinder of Candor, has returned. Haunted by the unspeakable evil he committed in New Eden and driven to find the only woman he loved to rebuild what he destroyed. But when the Lordkeep warns that the Shadefall, a darkness that spreads over land and destroys everything in its path, has returned, Verac faces a dire choice: pursue redemption for the murder of his daughter, or heed the Lordkeep’s order to hunt down the man responsible for the Shadefall. As Verac begins his journey to the city of Whicalorse, he encounters a young girl who reminds him of the one he buried in New Eden. Lost and far from home, the men caring for her dead alongside their gutted horses. Determined to protect her, he becomes entangled with the Moths, a fledgling group of rebels standing against the Highduke Kenelm, who threatens the people of Whetalon with a poisonous ideology and an evil creature lurking underground. Verac must overcome his past to conquer these new monsters, the first fruits of the Shadefall, and save the girl he swore to protect—even if it means leaving behind the woman he came back to find. Nightfinder is a dark fantasy novel that delves into themes of trauma, found family, and the pursuit freedom and redemption despite impossible odds.
