A Requiem of Dawn: An epic urban fantasy about a final sacrifice to stop a cosmic war and unite the dying worlds of primordial light and shadow.

The sky over Veridia is not falling; it’s shattering. For centuries, a great metaphysical Shroud has held reality in its delicate embrace. Now, it’s dying, and the city below is drowning in a storm of raw, untempered concepts. Shards of primordial light rain down, causing cobblestones to erupt into forests of bone-white coral. Wounds of absolute shadow bleed a hungry darkness that doesn’t destroy, but simply *unmakes* whatever it touches. This is not an apocalypse of fire, but a quiet, terrifying unraveling of existence itself.

In the heart of the chaos, two souls stand as the city’s only defense. Amelia Sutherland, a scholar who can read the universe’s source code and re-weave the fabric of existence. And Jonathan Rampling, an ancient, shadow-weaving king whose very essence can absorb the storm, at a terrible cost to himself. Together, they are a surgeon and a shield, performing impossible triage on a reality bleeding out from a thousand wounds. But their desperate efforts are only delaying the inevitable.

They soon discover this is no natural decay, but a deliberate act of cosmic terrorism. A zealot, Robert Anderson, stands atop the city’s tallest spire, actively tearing down the metaphysical anchors that hold their world together. They have mere days before the final anchor breaks and their world is not just destroyed, but completely and irreversibly unwritten. To stop him, they must journey into a dimension of pure sorrow to find a mythical key, only to uncover a ten-thousand-year-old lie: the Shroud is not a shield, but a prison for a forgotten god. Fusing epic fantasy with mind-bending metaphysics, this is a desperate race to not just save their world, but to decide if a reality built on a cosmic sin is worth saving at all.
