Devil's Night Dawning

Book excerpt: For centuries, the monastic Order of St Argo has stood between the mortal vale and the dark forces of the Other Side. Now a mystery warlock seeks an ancient power to rule realms, and only two of its witch hunters can stop him - if they can stay alive long enough to identify him... When young novice Adelko is assigned to legendary adept Horskram, he rejoices at the chance to lead an adventurous life. An adventurous death isn't what he had in mind - but it comes calling when they learn of a sorcerous theft, one that could bring ruin on the Known World. They suspect a demonologist at work, but don't know anything for sure. Whoever it is knows who they are and wants to silence them - permanently. As they flee from one danger to another, their homeland erupts into civil war - the rebellious southern barons have reunited and want to dethrone the King of Northalde. The world they know teeters on the brink of a momentous struggle that will reshape it forever... High fantasy meets gothic horror in this gripping tale of suspense, conflict, faith and magic - the first part in an epic saga of sweeping proportions.
