SYNOPSIS
In this dark fantasy tale, author J. Gibson blends elements of political intrigue, supernatural horror, and epic adventure to create an immersive world that will appeal to fans of series like The Black Company, The First Law, and A Song of Ice and Fire.
In the city of Imbredon, KARIS lives an ordinary life. Across the Sacred Empire, in Aros’s holiest towers, AMUN, a half-elven deacon, serves the Ennead with devotion.
When undead horrors descend upon Imbredon’s streets, Karis flees through carnage and flame into darkness. There she encounters demons speaking riddles, an angel wreathed in holy fire, and most chilling, monsters born of wicked magic hunting her for reasons unknown. Far from the chaos, Amun and her mentor ARCHBISHOP DELACROIX investigate a string of murders targeting the Church’s highest-ranking archbishops.
Karis finds an unexpected ally in SAMORAH, a paladin who abandoned her oaths. Together they battle spider-like monstrosities terrorizing Imperial villages. In Aros, Amun’s pursuit of treasonous magisters leads to her capture and torture at the hands of a malevolent entity.
Evil stirs beneath the surface, dark powers gathering strength. Shadows spread across the realm, forcing both Karis and Amun to face a terrifying truth; neither faith nor steel may be enough to stop what comes.

"After reading The Blackened Yonder and falling in love with J. Gibson's writing style, my expectations were soaring high. Usually, sequels can never live up to the first novel in a series, but this time, I was pleasantly surprised. The world-building is just as good, the execution of the plot is powerful, and the narrative is incredible!"
