AN ECHO FROM THE PAST. A DAWN REFORGED. A DARKNESS READY TO SWALLOW BOTH. A millennium has passed since the satellites dropped from the skies, cities turned to ash, and a new dark age began. The world has hardened into a realm of iron, warlords, zealotry, and fractured kingdoms built atop the bones of the old world. Sonny is the last astronaut - a man thrust a thousand years forward into a new world.
Alone, out of time, and hunted for the knowledge he carries, he becomes a living echo of a forgotten age. But in this savage new era, the past is a dangerous thing to remember. and an even more dangerous thing to be. A ruthless Church rules through fanaticism. A young, unstable king clings to power with blood and prophecy. And beyond their reach, something born not of the past or present - something alien - has stirred.
Now Sonny must form dangerous alliances to survive. Among them:Salome, a volatile teen whose fiery powers make her both weapon and heresy;The Arbiter, an exiled inquisitor whose ambitions are as sharp as his wit;.and a cast of broken warriors, zealots, outcasts, and creatures shaped by a world that rose from the fallout. Together, they are drawn into a conspiracy that stretches from the ashes of the old world to the heart of the new - a secret that could shatter kingdoms, ignite war, and doom what remains of humanity.
As ancient forces awaken and the last embers of civilisation flicker, Sonny faces an impossible truth: the world didn't end - it transformed. And the next transformation may be far worse. Where Dawn Burns Forever is the first book in The Broken Saga series, a sweeping grimdark, post-apocalyptic epic fantasy trilogy perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence, George R. R. Martin, R. F. Kuang and Hidetaka Miyazaki - a world of ruined empires, dangerous magic, morally grey characters, and dark humour, where nothing is as it seems.
