Publisher's Synopsis
Sorcerers say the goddess carved Vaidolin from a fallen star. Now the Mornae carve empires from each other's bones.
In this crater-city where powerful magic once flowed like water, three lives become entangled in a deadly game of ambition.
Nothrin, a lowborn prodigy whose abilities could redefine what it means to be Mornae-or destroy everything he holds dear. High Matron Joumina, who rules through cunning rather than sorcery, sees in him the perfect weapon against her rivals. And Yilness, Nothrin's mother, whose long-buried secrets could ignite a revolution that would shake Vaidolin's black spires to their foundations.
A seemingly innocent tournament becomes the flashpoint for ancient grudges, these unlikely allies must navigate a web of treachery where yesterday's friend is tomorrow's enemy. But in a city built from starfall, power comes at a price-and some debts can only be paid in blood.
The Dusklight Oath draws readers into a world where ancient tradition and political schemes collide, and the echoes of legendary figures still shape the destiny of their descendants.
For fans of character-focused high fantasy, political drama, and epic scope. 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.
