Hero Dawn: The Shadow of Peace

King Walter Howsard is dead, stabbed through the heart on the night of his 70th birthday, his body thrown from the terrace of his own castle, by an assassin wearing a Paladin armor. The Anthem Empire, twenty years into an uneasy peace, has no shortage of enemies. But the smell of sulfur that lingered tells one man a different story.

Gaius Emile Trasque, former High Master of the Sentries, living legend who’s battled the darkness, believes the king’s death is not the end of something. It is the beginning. Across the Empire, in the rain-soaked stone city of Cromwell, Bastius Bloome has returned from a voyage that should have killed him. The only survivor, without his Prowess, and without any will to be what he once trained to become.
