Devil's Night Dawning, the first volume of The Broken Stone Chronicle, is a dark epic fantasy where ancient evils stir, war simmers on the borders of fractured kingdoms, and the fate of the world may hinge on two unlikely monks. When young novice Adelko is assigned to legendary exorcist Horskram, he expects adventure-but what awaits is sorcery, slaughter, and the sinister theft of a sacred relic. As shadowy forces gather to unleash a forgotten power, the pair must navigate treacherous politics, supernatural assassins, and a war-torn landscape to prevent catastrophe. Combining gothic horror, religious mysticism, and immersive medieval worldbuilding, this slow-burn fantasy weaves multiple points of view into a tale of magic, faith, and doomed heroism. For readers who relish the philosophical darkness of The Black Company, the bleak grandeur of A Song of Ice and Fire, and the creeping dread of Lovecraft.
