Erebos: Ascension of Shadows
Book One of the Erebos Saga
In the twilight of a dying galaxy, power whispers through the shards of a long-lost civilization.
Aleron, a young trainee of the Sentinels of the Flame, hears a call no one else can—an ancient voice buried in the crystalline depths of Nyx, the last planet rich with Erebium, a sentient, time-warping energy source. When he discovers a Prime Shard beneath the ruins of Nereus, he ignites a chain of events that threatens to fracture the galaxy.
As House Vorta, a ruthless power led by the unyielding Kael Vorta, maneuvers to seize control of all remaining Erebium, Aleron is thrust into a web of political intrigue, betrayal, and war. With the help of Lyra, a fierce ally hiding her own fears, and Seraphina, a leader racing to replace Erebium with a safer future, Aleron must master the shard's dangerous potential—before it masters him.
But the shard is not a gift. It has a purpose. And it's been waiting.
Ascension of Shadows is the beginning of an epic space-fantasy Erebos Saga where loyalty is tested, power is corrupting, and the fate of faster-than-light travel—and the galaxy—rests in the hands of the chosen.
