Vesper

The sun has gone dark. The only way to bring it back could cost Blaike his life.

Born in the blight and condemned to mine sunstone for a kingdom that despises him, Blaike has never been allowed to walk the Path of Splendor. But when a chance encounter wakes a dangerous power inside him, a desperate fight for survival forces him on the run.

To master his new abilities before they destroy him, Blaike must cross the deadly blight and uncover a secret the kingdom has buried for decades.

Meanwhile, Ming Yue has spent her life brewing the elixirs that help others ascend, barred from the path herself by an accident of birth. When a stranger forces her onto the path, she must cross the kingdom's borders to find her missing twin.

What Yue discovers could save her brother-or expose a ruthless plot to seize the last remaining source of light.

As Blaike and Yue follow separate roads toward a hidden land, each must decide who to trust, and what they are willing to sacrifice for a world running out of time.

Vesper is the thrilling second book in the Path of Splendor, an epic fantasy saga of a dying sun, a hidden path, and a light that refuses to go out.

Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Will Wight, and Robert Jordan.
