In the sprawling forests of the Dawnwood, the life of Valmyr's people has changed. Endless winters and brutal blizzards force them into deep burrows while, outside, the old kin haunt the long nights. His only chance of saving his young sister is to flee into the unknown east... Meanwhile, at the foot of the northern mountains, a mysterious prophet is building the first city of Men. Beneath the walls of An Cylas, Aevi must try to forget her past and become a leader, but just as a new warlord rises in the south, she discovers that their prophet is not who he seems to be. Shadow of Dawn is the first book of the Godmakers Saga, a continuing series set in the same world and featuring some of the same faces. Each book, however, can be read as a stand-alone and in any order.
