A masterful fantasy debut. Katy Rose Pool is a writer to watch β€” Sebastien de Castell, author of TRAITOR'S BLADE

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 β€” until they disappeared, one hundred years ago.

But they left behind 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. As a dark new power begins to make war on the magically gifted, five souls are set on a collision course that will determine the fate of their world:

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 β€” or all of them β€” could break the world. Will they be saviour or destroyer?

Unforgettable... feels both utterly original and like the best of classic fantasy β€” Tasha Suri, author of EMPIRE OF SAND

A well-crafted, surprising and gripping start to a new trilogy β€” Kirkus

Katy Rose Pool combines lovable characters, a gorgeously tangible world and an intricate puzzle-box plot to create a story that will pull you inexorably toward the explosive end β€” Sarah Holland, New York Times bestselling author of EVERLESS
