The nightwalkers are back, creatures that roam the darkness looking for anyone stupid or unlucky to find themselves without light to protect them. And the people of Entarna carried lanterns and torches, using them as shields against the dark creatures.

But sooner or later all light fades. All flames go out.

Torrik and his wife were soldiers in the war against the Dark. But when their son Alesh was born, they left that life behind in the hope of keeping him safe. But Alesh is no ordinary kid, and Torrik will be forced to learn a harsh truth.

Life and death plan. Ordinary people hope. And the gods laughed.

Finding themselves at the center of a plot that threatens the entire kingdom, Torrik and his wife must try to become the people they once were, the people they thought they had long left behind.

For when all the lights go out… darkness reigns.

The Forging of Dawn is a prequel to The Nightfall Wars, a new series from Jacob Peppers, author of the best-selling epic fantasy series, The Seven Virtues. The Nightfall Wars is a dark fantasy series in the tradition of Joe Abercrombie, Brent Weeks and David Gemmell.

I have not listened to the entire series this far, only the novella. I very much enjoyed it and hope to enjoy the series as much, should it be as well written. Being a light in the darkness is old symbolism, but I’ve never seen it taken this literally.
