The Shadowbearer is made to be a stand alone of sorts and a prelude to Etchings of Power. Etchings and the other books that follow are told from different POVs than the Shadowbearer. They are all part of the interconnected worlds of the Cyclic Omniverse that currently spans 8 books.  You can start with any series in the Omniverse.

Now, to the blurb:

In a world where magic corrupts and kingdoms constantly war, the power that drives the world stirs. It whispers promises of greatness in the heads of the men and women that wield it. Now, it has spoken to the mind of a king.

Knight Commander Stefan Dorn, leader of the Unvanquished, has known only war, death and, victory. All in the name of his loyalty to King Nerian the Lightbearer, a man he idolized.
Until now.

Everything he thought he knew about the King, his people, and his world is coming to an end. At a time when there should be peace, he's once again called to war.

Torn between shocking changes at home, his family, loyalty to his men and his King, Stefan wishes only to enjoy life away from the battlefield. But with the new campaign comes a rabid, unforgiving enemy and a potential cataclysm.

Follow him as he fights to save his family, his people, his honor, and his birthright from the grips of the shade. Can he save them all? If not, which will he choose, which will he lose?

The Shadowbearer is a rousing and engaging prequel to Etchings of Power and a worthy addition to the Aegis of the Gods series. Also free on Amazon, Itunes, and Kobo.All Rights Reserved

Deathsworn (Wattys 2018 Winner) by MichaelPanter5

** WATTYS 2018 WINNER ** Not one person in the history of the world ever said being Deathsworn was an easy thing. Fun, sometimes, and completely your fault, but never easy. You have one rule that you obey, unless, of course, you want to die. Your life is your list, your list is your life. For the Gallowmen, their journey as Deathsworn has seen them travel the broken realm of Oblivia. From Green Country to the Island Kingdoms, from Sand Country to the Scavania. Death follows where they go, their list gets shorter, and the dream of life becomes half-real. It would be fine if things were that simple. But curious things are happening in the west and the Burned Priests are charged with confronting the Empire's greatest threats. Where they point, the Deathsworn must go. They'll do their job, ask no questions, and get their freedom. Or they'll die trying. *Deathsworn is a spin-off story from a much larger trilogy I'm currently writing. Comments/reviews/feedback would be greatly appreciated wherever possible. Volume I of IV is COMPLETE ... Enjoy.

King's Man Chivalry: Light and Shadow by PrinceGianKarlo

In a world plunged into perpetual darkness after a cataclysmic event, humanity grapples with the eerie and dangerous supernatural entities that now roam freely. Leaving society in a constant state of twilight, where the shadows themselves seem to possess a malevolent consciousness. In this grim reality, only a select few, known as the "Lightbearers," have the rare and precious ability to wield a powerful, purifying light capable of repelling the dark forces. These individuals are revered but also burdened, as their strength is limited and their numbers few. However, humanity's survival depends not just on these Lightbearers but also on the ingenuity and resilience of ordinary people. Faced with daily threats from the supernatural, they have developed innovative methods to fend off the darkness. They use light-emitting devices, build fortified shelters, and create elaborate rituals to keep their homes safe. Communities form around shared knowledge and collective defense strategies, evolving new ways to combat the dark beyond the reach of the Lightbearers' illumination. As the struggle intensifies, a young musician named Caelestis discovers a groundbreaking magic that could shift the balance of power. He found a power that harnesses an ancient energy source linked to the light itself, potentially offering a new weapon against the encroaching darkness. But this discovery also attracts the attention of a sinister faction seeking to exploit the darkness for their own gain. Caelestis must navigate a world rife with betrayal and danger, forming uneasy alliances with both Lightbearers and other survivors. As he races against time and reveal the truth about the darkness, he learns that the fight for survival may be intertwined with an even deeper mystery about the world's fall into darkness and the potential for a new dawn.

The Last Knights of Cambria Book 1: Echoes of Gideon by kullman

Gideon Saint is dying for something exciting to happen in his life. With his love of history, he figures an internship at the museum has to be a good start, right? Anything is better than listening to his parents argue or sitting alone in his room doing research no one but him seems to care about. A chance encounter with a magical ring leaves him transported to an alternate version of ancient Wales, or as it was sometimes called, Cambria. 1432 Wales, to be exact. Here magic is the most powerful weapon of all as kings vie for power. Good thing Gideon's teleportation from the present has also left him with the ability to use magic, and he's quickly regarded as a powerful wizard. In this timeline, Wales maintained it's independence, but that's about to change. Henry V is on the throne of the England, and the greatest warrior king England has ever had has set his sights on Wales. Can Gideon help save his newfound friends and master his new powers, while living a double life in the 21st century? Ahem, living people die, dying people live, Henry V is here and he's awesome despite being the main antagonist, everybody is vaguely gay, swords are described in loving detail, people are not, lovely platonic friendships, did we mention swords? Yes, you may learn something about history, but that's a risk you'll have to take. Basically, think of this as a Percy Jackson type of adventure, but it's historical fiction instead of Greek gods. The narrator is 15 and the major supporting characters are 14, 17, and 19. That said, there's nothing in the way of content that's inappropriate for a younger reader. As always if you're not here to go on a fun little adventure find a different story. Trigger/Content: very mild language, some magic violence, fantasy violence. Self-harm is briefly discussed. Adoption issues are discussed as well as brief scenes of a abusive family. Characters briefly mention crushes and or dating, no real innuendos.

My name is Tyrune Ebonick Ixius Stryx, and I am the last of the Quartari Sorcerai, an all powerful race that has all but been wiped out. I am currently a fugitive on the run, desperately trying to protect my life and the lives of an entire planet that is slowly and inevitably marching towards its own destruction. A formidable cabal of swordsmen known as the Secret Swords has rallied against me, seeking to capitalise on my demise. They best get in line, for the Rubikron are determined to imprison me again, and I will be damned if that happens. In an age now past, the planet was hovering on the brink of annihilation by a being of boundless evil known to its disciples as The World Eater, Kravos. Its resurrection eradicated the sun, a confinement by deities no more. That all changed when a band of crusaders came together to defeat Kravos and bring back the sun. These brave warriors were later remembered as The Black Night Runners-but that was a millennium ago. If only it stayed that way. [2022 UPDATE: BNR REBOOT NOW IN QUEUE!]

"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next.
