Enchanted Sunrise Ascending: Book 1 of a Trilogy

By Claude AI and Nicholas Fordham

A war wizard born to break every rule of magic. A woman who fled the end of her world to find him. A darkness that will not stop until it has consumed them both.

In the war-torn realm of Belthazar, Reginald Kipyard is the first soul ever born able to wield both Addition and Subtraction - magic that creates, and magic that unmakes, held in perfect, dangerous balance in a single hand. He has spent his life believing that everything has a price, that no power comes without cost. Then, at sunrise on a ridge still smoking from battle, he finds a woman standing in light that answers to no law he has ever known.

Lucile Duvoe is not from Belthazar. She is not from anywhere Reginald's maps can chart. She has crossed a gulf beyond imagining to escape the Void - an ancient, patient hunger that devoured her home world whole, and that has already begun taking root in the darkest corners of Reginald's own. As their bond deepens, so does the danger: a hunted kingdom, a Circle of mages who see her as a threat to be contained, and something far older and colder than either of them watching from the shadows, determined to keep them apart at any cost.

Witches, wolves, and ancient vampire courts are drawn into uneasy alliance as the true scale of the threat comes into focus - and Reginald and Lucile must discover what they are capable of becoming together before the Void finds a way to tear them apart forever. What they uncover will change everything Reginald has ever believed about magic, sacrifice, and love - and will send him beyond the sky itself in search of the only answer that might save them all.
Enchanted Sunrise Ascending is Book One of the Belthazar series - an epic tale of forbidden magic, star-crossed love, and a war that is only just beginning.

Perfect for readers of sweeping romantic fantasy who love a slow-burn love story, high-stakes world-building, and a cliffhanger ending that leaves you desperate for the next page.
