Dawn of the Lightbearer

By Scott Austin Tirrell

On the edge of a dying empire, blacksmith's apprentice Erikson Gray discovers a cursed sword hidden deep in a forbidden forest.

Its name is Lightbearer, and it is far from silent steel.

When enemies out of legend begin hunting the blade, Erik is forced to flee with the only people reckless enough to hide him: two disgraced knights bound by a broken oath, and a band of thieves who know exactly what happens to boys who attract the wrong kind of attention.

But the hunters are not Erik's only danger.

Because Lightbearer does not want to be hidden. It wants a hand, not a sheath. It wants to be wielded.

As fear turns allies into threats and the sword's influence tightens, Erik must decide what he is willing to become: the one who uses the blade... or the one the blade uses.

Dawn of the Lightbearer is the first novel in Absolution of the Morning Star, a grimdark fantasy of cursed power, betrayal, and the ruinous cost of survival.
