About The Book
Can you feel the world changing?Baron Emmert Rogan lost his family and title for merely associating with traitors to the despotic King-priest of Chelpa. When a mysterious agent offers him a chance at a daring escape from Blackthorn Prison, Rogan has nothing to lose. The price of his freedom? Only an assassination of the King-priest: an attempt destined to fail.Jaiden Luminere grew up without a mother, idolizing his mercenary dad. After his father fails to return from a campaign against the armies of Chelpa, he trains relentlessly in order to claim vengeance at the end of a sword. As enemies of the King-priest, a calculating Rogan and skillful-but-impetuous Jaiden find themselves in an uneasy alliance, despite different homelands. They join forces with the Order of the Rising Moon, servants of a forgotten Goddess, sworn to fight the spreading tyranny of the Dark God the King-priest serves.
The struggle is more complicated than any of them understand. Like an unseen current, the coveted power of magical conduits known as the Living Fire influences their endeavors. A group of cursed, other-worldly angels called the Aasimar are drawn to the radiant jewels, and when the King-priest claims one, the stakes of the conflict rise to shape the fate of the cosmos.Failure would mean the corruption of all that remains of the lands and people they love. Can the last hope of their respective peoples overcome their own distrust to untie for a common purpose?
