The Aging Dawn by Andrew Gentles
English | 2026 | Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Buried sins are laid bare. A fragile peace begins to fracture…
Peace turns brittle in the northern kingdoms. The truth of old atrocities still festers, biding its time, as the High-King’s gaze shifts once more toward the free nations beyond his reach.
Elsie Marsh, a thief on the run, watches her world implode after a heist gone wrong. She flees with the High-King’s most dangerous weapon—an ancient power worth killing for and dying over.
Roy Yawburg, a war-scarred rhymer, long ago traded musket and sword for the strings of his guitar—but his hands still remember the price paid with the innocence of his youth. Now the vassal-kings have come calling again, demanding a service he swore he’d never again give.
Their paths will cross in blood and betrayal.
Half-truths and broken loyalties will tip the scales of power—and at the center stand a thief and a rhymer, bound together by secrets that could herald the fall of an empire.
The Aging Dawn is the first book in the Chronicles of the Usurper, a grimdark fantasy series filled with political intrigue, rival powers, flawed characters, and rich history.
This novel is ideal for readers seeking morally complex characters, dark and gritty fantasy worlds, and an atmosphere where the line between criminal organizations and the political elite is—at best—blurred.
