The Crown of Dusk

Eli has survived war, betrayal, dark magic, and the long scars of memory—but survival has come at a terrible price. Bound by an unspoken debt to Nyx, the dark goddess who spared his life, Eli is no longer entirely his own. And when she calls, refusal is not an option. Eli is wrenched onto a new path—one that leads north into lawless, burning lands where kings are dead, power is contested, and the mysterious Crown of Dusk stands empty. Behind him, war spreads. Ahead of him, something far worse is waiting. With Mae at his side and a rescued girl named Kora in their care, Eli is drawn toward a destiny he neither understands nor trusts. Nyx demands payment. Not in gold. Not in blood alone. In service. And whatever waits in the shadows of the north may well reshape the fate of nations. The Crown of Dusk is the explosive fifth installment in The Eli Chronicles—a dark, sweeping epic of war, gods, forbidden bargains, and the terrible cost of survival. Perfect for fans of gritty fantasy, morally complex heroes, and high-stakes adventure where victory is never clean, and the gods always collect!
