Synopsis

From Book 1:

Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows meets Kristin Cashore's Graceling, with a dash of Winter Is Coming, in this showstopping debut YA fantasy!

The Age of Darkness approaches. Five lives stand in its way. Who will stop it . . . or unleash it?

For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity. Using their visions of the future, they ended wars and united nations — until the day, 100 years ago, when the Prophets disappeared.

All they left behind was one final, secret prophecy, foretelling an Age of Darkness and the birth of a new Prophet who could be the world’s salvation . . . or the cause of its destruction. With chaos on the horizon, five souls are set on a collision course:

• A prince exiled from his kingdom.
• A ruthless killer known as the Pale Hand.
• A once-faithful leader torn between his duty and his heart.
• A reckless gambler with the power to find anything or anyone.
• And a dying girl on the verge of giving up.

One of them — or all of them — could break the world. Will they be savior or destroyer?

Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Children of Blood and Bone, and An Ember in the Ashes.
