The Argent Dawn
An epic fantasy of betrayal and prophecy where a magical sacrifice is the only way to stop a brother's quest to become a god.

The world is dying. A magical blight known as the Withering poisons the land, and for Abigail Vaughan, the rot is a sickness inside her. As a Nexus, her immense power is a beacon to the ruthless mages hunting her, and a mirror to the world's decay. Haunted by her mentor’s fiery death, her only guide is a scorched, cryptic map, and her only ally is Brandon Walker—a disgraced enforcer sworn to the very order that now wants them dead.
Together, they are fugitives on a desperate quest for answers, a path that leads through blighted swamps and into a forgotten, secret library. There, they unearth a prophecy that offers a single, terrifying solution: a ritual that demands not a victory of power, but its complete surrender. To stop the Withering, Abigail must confront its source—her own brother, Edward, a god-aspirant Nexus who seeks not to rule reality, but to erase it and forge a silent, perfect world from the ashes.
To reach him, Abigail must forge an alliance with traitors, lead a broken rebellion into a suicidal battle, and embrace a destiny that will cost her everything she is. In this epic fantasy of high-stakes magic and desperate courage, the only way to save the world is to unmake the very soul of its saviors.
