THE AGE OF DARKNESS APPROACHES. FIVE LIVES STAND IN ITS WAY. WHO WILL STOP IT . . . OR UNLEASH IT?

For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity. Using their visions of the future, they ended wars and united nations - until they disappeared, one hundred years ago.

But they left behind one final, secret prophecy, foretelling an Age of Darkness and the birth of a new Prophet who could be the world's salvation . . . or the cause of its destruction. As a dark new power begins to make war on the magically gifted, five souls are set on a collision course that will determine the fate of their world:

A prince exiled from his kingdom
A ruthless killer known as the Pale Hand
A once-faithful leader torn between his duty and his heart
A reckless gambler with the power to find anything or anyone
And a dying girl on the verge of giving up

One of them - or all of them - could break the world. Will they be saviour or destroyer?

'A sweeping, ambitious fantasy that pulled me into a world of corruption, dark prophecy and, ultimately, hope. The breathlessly paced story gripped me until the very last pages' Julie C. Dao, author of Forest of a Thousand Lanterns

'A brilliantly woven story with compelling characters, surprising twists and a prophecy driven not by distant fate but by hard, human choices. There Will Come a Darkness was a pleasure to read and left me eager for more!' Melissa Caruso, author of The Tethered Mage

Resenhas (7)

3.5 (Bom)

Eu estava pronta pra falar mal do livro, mas gostei do final.

Acho que se ele fosse uma fantasia adulta a história seria muito melhor explorada, já que ele tem bastante coisas previsíveis e ele sempre fala que o mundo é ruim e as pessoas são ruins, mas ele não mostra isso acontecendo.

Achei os capítulos curtos e corridos, uma reorganização deles seria bom também.

Por causa dos capítulos curtos não me apeguei aos personagens, até o final e nem foram todos eles.
