The Fall of Daoradh

The Watchers have fallen. The Inferiors rise.

Seth of Highwood is drawn into the struggle that began with the mysterious fall of his father.

Haunted by visions and bound to a companion who will not leave his side, he must learn what Daoradh left behind — before an ancient war finishes what it started.

Why this book

The wound

Daoradh has fallen. Darkness spreads across Erathe. The Quarters of Etharath stand on the edge of ruin.

The cost

Seth and Michael Herder must uncover a father’s legacy. Allies gather — Stewards, king, and Guard — and still the tide rises.

The hope

The last hope of mankind rests not on kings or legends, but on ordinary hearts willing to stand when the hour is darkest.

The closing movement

The last hope of mankind rests not on kings or legends, but on ordinary hearts.
From the book
