The Light of Darkness: A Dark Historical Fantasy of Forbidden Magic, Shattered Faith, and Soul-Deep Love (Prequel and Book One of The Darkborn Prophecies)
About this ebook
Before the rise of prophecy and the war that followed… there was only darkness.
The Light of Darkness is the emotional prequel to The Darkborn Prophecies, set nearly two decades before Book Two. Dive into the tragedy, magic, and forbidden love that shaped the world to come.
1349, England. The Black Plague is only the beginning.
The dead are rising, but not as ghosts. Demons walk among them, hidden in the chaos of sickness and death, led by a demon, who spreads his unholy plague across the land. As the veil between realms is opened, darkness threatens to consume the world—unless three souls, bound by fate, can stop it
Trinity has lost everything. Alone in plague-ridden London, she has nowhere left to turn—until a Seraph appears before her, gifting her a celestial sword and shield with a command to seek out the Druids, the very people she was raised to fear. Returning to York, her childhood home, she reunites with Michael, the nobleman’s son who was once her closest friend. There, life seems untouched, safe… until the shadows come for them, and she is forced to choose between her love for Michael and the warrior she is meant to become.
Sybil is more than a seer—she is a warrior, a descendant of the goddess Cailleach, and trained to fight against the forces of darkness. But when the veil between realms opens, she is given a vision of a girl with angelic wings and a celestial weapon—a girl she must find before it’s too late. But trusting a Catholic girl who sees her magic as heresy may be an even greater challenge than facing the demons themselves.
Michael is destined for knighthood. But grief drives him far from home, searching for an escape from the pain that haunts him. On the battlefield, he is offered a choice—one that will either save him or cost him everything. When he returns to York, he is not the man he once was… but what has he become? And when the final battle comes, will he stand beside Trinity or against her?
As war looms and the darkness spreads, faith and magic must unite. Will the light of darkness prevail, or will the world fall to shadow?
When demons rise, only the light can stand against them.
