The Dusklight Oath: A Dark Epic Fantasy (The Fifth Accord Book 1)

Within Vaidolin's white-walled estates, the nobility cling to wealth while true magic dies - but in the shadows of ancient black towers, some still remember what it means to be Mornae.

Nothrin, a lowborn prodigy rejected by the legendary academy Isilayne, turns to an ancient and dangerous tablet to master his abilities and claim his place among the Mornae elite.

High Matron Joumina rules a fracturing house through gold and guile, knowing her wealth can't disguise Zauhune's fading bloodlines. When Nothrin displays ancient power thought lost to their people, she sees a chance to transform her paper empire into real authority - but her rivals force her to choose between protecting this newfound asset and maintaining the delicate peace that keeps her in power.

Yilness, disguised as a humble priestess, leads a secret network of traditionalists plotting to reclaim their stolen legacy from the houses that betrayed them. When her son becomes both weapon and target in Vaidolin's power struggles, she must choose between revealing her true power to protect him or maintaining her generations-long scheme of vengeance.

The Dusklight Oath plunges readers into a world where true power demands blood and devotion—a price few in Vaidolin's sacred walls still dare to pay. Perfect for readers who enjoy morally complex characters, subtle magic, and stories that explore the lethal price of true power—and those willing to pay it.
