The Light of the Tower

By: John Kerry

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The crown rests on a brow never meant to bear it.

The bastard knight, thrust onto the throne against his will, now abandons his newfound power to uphold his sacred vows. In a desperate flight across the empire, he protects the true heir—his princely brother.

To the south, the undefeated general is summoned back to the capital, drawn into the swirling vortex of power within the Black Tower. Among the fugitives, the barbarian knight—elevated from kitchen slave—burns with the ashes of past glory and a bitter rage against his present fate, an unpredictable variable in this fragile band.

But a terror far beyond human comprehension has now awakened. And a truth more brutal than any lie—the very foundation upon which the empire was built—is about to be uncovered. As everything teeters on the brink of ruin, one question remains: will they fight for a final ember of hope, or will they fall with the empire into an eternal night?
