Lightfall (When Dragons Die, Volume 1)

The Black Dragon’s death shatters the faerie realms of the Otherworld. From its fragments, a new elven race emerges in the god-infested lands of Ahmbren.

Aradma is born from light on the frozen slopes of Windbowl, emerging as a grown woman with nothing more than the broken memories of a dead faerie people. She is taken by trolls and heralded as the long-awaited priestess of the Moon Goddess, where she is forced to choose between the truth of the natural world and the intoxicating lure of their Matriarch’s adoration. Aradma must pierce the lies of a goddess before her lover murders half her tribe.

Meanwhile, the immortal God-King who ruled the Artalonian Empire for a thousand years sacrificed himself to defeat the Black Dragon. The Archmage who raised the God-King to power now mourns his loss, even as he falls to madness and threatens to break the very world he saved.
