Dawning of Darkness: The Fall of Gods and Kings explores events that take place on Afterworld before Leon’s arrival. It follows Arthur Pendragon, Dobrynya Nikitich, Joan D’Arc and others on their quest to save our universe from the one known to them only as the Dark Creator.
Systems fall, planets die—darkness dawns on us all. When a god known simply as the Dark Creator enters our universe, the concord of the world inhabited by the spirits of men and their kings, the gods' chosen few, fades. As this being and his overwhelming force of corrupted horrors and children eclipse Afterworld and its territories, the kingdoms of men must put aside their differences and band together.
After millennia of fighting, the final blockade separating man from those sinister entities has collapsed. With so much at stake, and with the Dark Creator approaching the Divine Mountains, will our protectors' sacrifices ensure Afterworld's survival? Or will this encroaching darkness consume it all?
The first edition of Dawning of Darkness: The Fall of Gods and Kings was released March 14th, 2023 in both Ebook & Paperback Formats.
The full cast audiobook is expected to release 6.14.2024.
