I know it seems like an eternity since Noonday in the North (published almost a year ago), but the long wait for the return to the Absolution of the Morning Star series is almost over, and a storm brews on the horizon. Book four, Destiny of the Daystar: Shattered Circles, is launching on January 7, 2025. But why wait? Preorder your copy today here and secure your place in the next chapter of this epic saga.
In Destiny of the Daystar, the fragile peace of the empire fractures. Torn between destiny and doubt, Erikson Gray must navigate the deadly currents of rebellion, ancient magic, and shifting alliances as he aspires to forge a coalition with the Circle of Eight. The shadows lengthen as Ivar, the self-styled Reformer, rises to power in the blood-soaked aftermath of his father’s murder. Jezelle embarks on a dangerous mission to find Erik and deliver the treasure hidden within the wreckage of the Lion. Meanwhile, Margret the Fair, Ivar’s daughter, long an observer in the shadows, emerges to take center stage with the help of the Nyth Cigfran, wielding her influence to challenge the forces threatening to tear the realm apart.
This book pulls no punches. Expect battles that redefine warfare, betrayals that shatter trust, heartache, and choices that echo through eternity. The old symbols—the ouroboros, the crown, the Sun and Sword—hold truths that may save Lucardia… or doom it.
What Readers Can Expect:
- The clash of steel and sorcery in battles that shape empires.
- Erik’s struggle to balance Lightbearer’s power with the darkness it whispers.
- Ivar’s cunning and savagery as he reshapes Lucardia in his image.
- The Nyth Cigfran witches return to their age-old plots.
- The secrets of Lucardia’s history unravel in unexpected ways.
This isn’t just another chapter; it’s a reckoning. Will Erik embrace the destiny thrust upon him, or will the weight of it crush him? Will the empire find unity, or will the Daystar’s light reveal its ultimate downfall?
The wheel is turning, and the circles are breaking.
