by Katy Rose Pool
'A masterful fantasy debut' Sebastien de Castell
THE AGE OF DARKNESS APPROACHES.
FIVE LIVES STAND IN ITS WAY.For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity - until they disappeared, one hundred years ago.
They left behind a 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 rises, 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 upOne of them - or all of them - could break the world. Will they be saviour or destroyer?
