Solstice

The darkness is gone. The world is turning again. But dawn was never meant to come twice.

Eighteen days after Avery Quinn and Dax Corvin helped save their world, a second sun appears above Kharad.

Then the ancient systems awaken.

FIRST DAWN APPROACHING.

What begins as an impossible light in the sky becomes something far more dangerous. Their sun is not what anyone believed it to be. Beyond it lies an ancient network connecting forgotten civilizations, dying worlds, and people who have spent generations waiting for the road between them to reopen.

And now it has.

Some want their sun returned. Others need it to survive. And buried within the machinery of First Dawn is an ancient command capable of giving one world a future by destroying another.

Avery was never meant to become the Door. Dax never wanted to be the Keeper. Yet together, they may be the only ones capable of reaching the heart of a system built long before their kingdoms existed-and ending a cycle of sacrifice that has shaped civilizations for thousands of years.

But saving their own world will be easy compared to the choice waiting for them.

Because this time, survival cannot belong to only one world.

And if Avery and Dax want the future they have fought so hard to reach, they will have to prove that dawn does not have to begin with someone else's darkness.

Across five worlds, old enemies are returning, ancient truths are awakening, and the final dawn is approaching.

SOLSTICE: The First Dawn is the epic conclusion to Darian Halewood's SOLSTICE fantasy-romance series-a story of forbidden boundaries, lost civilizations, love, sacrifice, and two people determined to build a future no ancient power gets to choose for them.
