The sun is dying. The only man who saw it coming is now a traitor to his own kingdom.
When archaeologist Tannen deciphers an ancient warning of a catastrophe that keeps coming back, Ashathar’s royal scholars laugh him out of the room. Then the astronomer Valoria finds proof that the sun is fading.
Together they follow a trail of forgotten temples deep into enemy territory. There Tannen learns that the people he was raised to fear may hold the key to surviving the dark.
To save his world, he must climb the mysterious Path of Splendor, and every step could kill him. The king’s soldiers are hunting him. Ancient blades are waking a threat neither kingdom can ignore. With Valoria and a young Tensian girl at his side, Tannen has to decide whom to trust, and how much he’ll risk for people who may never believe him.
