A fantasy set in Greco-Roman times is told from five distinctive points of view from the five primary characters: 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. These characters are living in the chaos of the Age of Darkness that falls upon them after the Seven Prophets, who have guided humanity for generations, have disappeared.

Some readers may struggle with the multiple points of view and the parallel plots.

There Will Come a Darkness is the first book in the Age of Darkness series, followed by As the Shadow Rises, and concluding with Into the Dying Light. This series may appeal to fans of Throne of Glass, Children of Blood and Bone, and similar epic fantasies.
