The Lightforged Chronicles · Book One
End of Equinox
“…perfects the fantasy genre by combining intricate mythology, inventive worldbuilding, and an ingenious plot… a spectacular addition to high fantasy.”
“…a full-stakes approach to a universe that’s richly detailed, intricately plotted and admirably structured. High fantasy readers who appreciate a carefully mapped, credibly complex world will have plenty to unpack here.”
For ten thousand years, Ephraim has endured beneath the protection of the Light. In a time lost to memory, the darkness beyond its borders was driven back, and there it waits. The great cities are secure, and the ancient warnings of Nightfall have become little more than superstition.
Lorekeeper Harper Brightwell is sent to investigate a spreading heresy. Instead, she begins uncovering signs that the realm itself is darkening.
She is not alone.
A disgraced warrior encounters an enemy believed banished, while an unconventional Artisan questions truths his Order considers settled. A brilliant scientist pursues an experiment capable of transforming humanity’s struggle against the darkness, but a hardened Trailjack realizes that nowhere may be beyond its reach.
Across the realm, isolated mysteries are beginning to converge, threatening the very source of its protection. Behind secure walls, the fear creeping across Ephraim is easily dismissed. But those facing what lies beyond them will soon discover the truth.
The Nightfall is coming.
And with it, the End of Equinox.
