Forgotten by time. Hunted by prophecy. A war of myths begins.
In a world balanced on the knife-edge of prophecy, the forgotten rise as myths walk among men once more.
The long Era of Peace falters. Kingdoms whisper and conspire, old alliances fracture, and betrayal seeps into the halls of power.
At the heart of the coming storm stands a man erased from history yet bound to fate. Hunted by allies and enemies alike, he may be the last of the Ilandri—a race lost to legend, wielders of a power that could forge a new dawn… or plunge the world into eternal night.
Across time and continents, nine voices weave a tale of ambition, treachery, and hope. Each carries secrets that could ignite the world—or save it from ruin.
As day and night collide, one truth endures: when dawn finally breaks, not everyone will rise with the light.
The Shadow of Dawn is an epic fantasy for readers of Joe Abercrombie, Evan Winter, N. K. Jemisin, and James Islington.
