Book One: The Awakening
A man haunted by lives he can't remember.
A secret Order guarding a truth older than history.
A forgotten war that began eons ago.
When Elias tries to outrun his past, he finds refuge in a Sanctuary hidden in the mountains. He seeks peace, but instead uncovers a world shaped by ancient powers—and a terrifying darkness waking within him.
As old loyalties fray and new threats stir, Elias must choose who he will become: someone who protects the world, or the creator he longs to be.
But the Order holds its own secrets. And the greatest one is awakening.
Perfect for readers who love rich worldbuilding, slow-burn mythic mysteries, and choices that echo across lifetimes, The Awakening is the first book in the Darkness and Light Saga.
