There Will Come a Darkness

'Early buzz could hardly be louder' Entertainment Weekly

THE AGE OF DARKNESS APPROACHES. FIVE LIVES STAND IN ITS WAY. WHO WILL STOP IT . . . OR UNLEASH IT?

For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity. Using their visions of the future, they ended wars and united nations - until they disappeared, one hundred years ago.

But they left behind one final, secret prophecy, foretelling an Age of Darkness and the birth of a new Prophet who could be the world's salvation . . . or the cause of its destruction. As a dark new power begins to make war on the magically gifted, five souls are set on a collision course that will determine the fate of their world:

A prince exiled from his kingdom

A ruthless killer known as the Pale Hand

A once-faithful leader torn between his duty and his heart

A reckless gambler with the power to find anything or anyone

And a dying girl on the verge of giving up

One of them - or all of them - could break the world. Will they be saviour or destroyer?

'A sweeping, ambitious fantasy that pulled me into a world of corruption, dark prophecy and, ultimately, hope. The breathlessly paced story gripped me until the very last pages' Julie C. Dao, author of FOREST OF A THOUSAND LANTERNS

'A brilliantly woven story with compelling characters, surprising twists and a prophecy driven not by distant fate but by hard, human choices. There Will Come a Darkness was a pleasure to read and left me eager for more!' Melissa Caruso, author of THE TETHERED MAGE
