The price of power is etched in blood...

In the shadowed depths of Vaidolin, an ancient crater city where divine power once flowed like water, three lives become entangled in a web of ambition, duty, and vengeance:

Nothrin, a lowborn prodigy, strives to become a knight in a world that scorns such aspirations. His exceptional abilities make him a beacon of hope for some, a threat to others, and his success could redefine what it means to be Mornae—or cost him everything he holds dear.

High Matron Joumina rules House Zauhune with cunning and wealth rather than divine favor. In Nothrin, she sees a weapon to wield against her rivals, but employing him could either cement her rule or topple her from power.

Yilness, Nothrin's mother, harbors secrets that could shatter Vaidolin's fragile peace. As she weaves a web of vengeance against those who wronged her people, she must decide whether to use her son to further her plans or protect him from the dangerous game she's set in motion.

Set against a backdrop of towering black spires and ancient sanctuaries where magic still burns, this dark fantasy explores the cost of power and the weight of tradition. As divine energy wanes and bitter rivalries resurface, a seemingly innocent tournament becomes the flashpoint for long-simmering tensions.

In Vaidolin, where every shadow hides a dagger and every smile masks betrayal, the choices of these three unlikely allies will determine whether the Mornae reclaim their heritage or succumb to the darkness that threatens to consume them all. As Nothrin navigates treacherous alliances and hidden agendas, the fate of an entire civilization hangs in the balance.

The Dusklight Oath is the first book in the Fifth Accord series. Each book will focus on one of the five Mornae high houses and building to an inevitable conclusion... civil war.
