What it's about:
The world of Marcuria nears its predestined end. This is the last Age. The final Cleansing. Three unwitting harbingers—whose lives have been carefully constructed, vigilantly directed onto dark paths—are being prepared for this culmination. Monsters they are destined to be, not the heroes they always dreamed.
Alyn sees what others cannot: the Dark. This darkness
infests the land, swarms over all creation. Even those he loves are infected
with it. Hatred for the Dark festers as Alyn battles a raging torrent inside: an
alluvion yearning to sweep this perceived blight out of existence.
Jarrod is a carousing layabout haunted by the trauma he
suffered as a young child. He drowns himself in drink and the occasional girl
to escape the constant, hellacious memories. Yet this isn’t enough. It can
never be enough. For years, he has mulled over a solution, but his cowardice is
too great of an impediment. Even so, the notion of revenge never wanders out of
reach as it foments his craving for knowledge.
Gherart has just celebrated a major promotion to join
the ranks of the Eldest’s personal guard. These elite guardsmen are recognized
as national heroes, exemplars of virtue and honor. To have come this far,
Gherart has had to transform himself into a new man, a religious man. This
mighty change entailed purging his life of every connection to his criminal
past; however, there is one tie he can’t cut loose: his best friend—a brother
in spirit. . .a thief envious of Gherart.
