Avenel was once a fabled assassin known as the Blade of Elyria. Ever tight-lipped about her past, she retired from a life of death to wander the world alone. Deena is a sheltered teenage girl unaware of her extraordinary heritage. Raised alone by her mother, she has never been far from home. Their paths cross in Deena’s secluded village, when tragedy obliterates Deena’s home and leaves her orphaned. The two begin a journey across the continent, bound together by Avenel’s promise to keep Deena safe. They encounter allies, both new and old: a biological father, a bastard prince and his friends, estranged family, and a physician who claims to be a member of a long-dead race. Each has regrets and painful memories of their own, memories that Deena soon discovers she can relive through dreams. When a prophesied sign of the end of the world appears, their journey becomes about more than just the fate of a single girl, and the secrets between them may be enough to save the world — or end it.

The Age of Redemption is a small block of time within the long history of Eos. ". . . in darkness shalt thou conquer . . ." is the first novel in this series. The challenges, pain, victories, and rewards of this epic struggle begin here: The date is July 4th, 1347 of the Second Dawn. It has been almost three years since the assassination of King Rurik. The kingdom of Nordaka now exists in a state of disarray, ruled by a reckless and unworthy heir. Rurik's oldest surviving son, Aidan of Dredstoke, receives a cue from his Spirit Guide the time for action has come. The young knight must put himself at risk of falling victim to the royal purge that has reduced his family line to a thread, or refuse to honor the vow he made to his father as the good king lay dying. The sins of Aidan's many forebears now weigh heavily on his shoulders, as they have culminated in an ominous tempest that looms just ahead on the horizon. If Aidan ignores this coming chaos, or is cut down by the Reaper's scythe, he fates his people to a millennium of darkness. The task of making amends for his family's misdeeds is unwanted, unfair, and unending - but that task is his, and his alone.
