And if you gaze into The Darkness…

A prince who’ll risk everything to save his kingdom.

A magical violinist who seeks to unveil the truth about ‘The Darkness.’

And a pair of sisters who promise to protect each other at all costs.

In this multi-POV dark epic fantasy, follow Alaric, Legato, Zoe, and Celena as they join an expedition to investigate the mystery behind ‘The Darkness’—a creature-infested realm that shadows the entire land in fear.

But as the group attempts to traverse The Darkness, they’ll quickly learn that nightmarish creatures are not the only danger. Indeed, cultists who worship The Darkness’ horrors believe it is a necessary evil that should be upheld for the good of the world. At first, the cultists seem insane. But as Alaric, Legato, Zoe, and Celena continue to unravel the truth, the more disillusioned they become about the real world, what they believe is right or wrong, and even all that they love.

Yet as they find themselves caught between creatures and cultists, perhaps the greatest threat in The Darkness are the very demons of their own ambitions. So if any of them hope to survive, Alaric, Legato, Zoe, and Celena must accept that those very same things that have brought them together can lead to their undoing.

Because what are they willing to sacrifice? And what will they leave behind? Every decision they make for the people they’ve come to love will determine who will make it out alive—lest they succumb to the shadows within themselves.
