The Last Dawn
The sky has been weeping for forty days. The rivers run black. The crops wither. The world is dying, and no one knows why.
Rowan has lost everything—his father, his mother, his sister. He is a gravedigger in a forgotten village, burying the victims of a plague that has no name.
Then the summons comes. A rider in black throws a scroll at his feet. The seal is a skull.
You are summoned to the Citadel of the Final Dawn. You are summoned to the Council of the Dying. You are summoned to the end of the world.
Rowan walks into the darkness. He meets Lyra—a woman with silver eyes who has walked this road before. He faces the Council—seven masked figures who have been waiting for him for centuries.
He learns the truth.
The hunger is not a monster. It is not a demon. It is not a god.
The hunger is grief.
And Rowan carries it inside him.
