A dark fantasy epic of prophecy, sacrifice, and a devastating truth no hero is prepared to face.

Niama is an elven hunter — raised in the forests of Mistwood, skilled with a bow, and content to let the world burn without her. But when a dying Seer delivers a prophecy that names her as the only hope against a rising darkness, she has no choice but to answer.

The Staff of Light is the only weapon powerful enough to stop the Second Rising — an ancient evil that is consuming kingdoms, turning armies to ash, and spreading corruption across the land. But claiming it means embarking on a deadly quest across a war-torn world: gathering rare and dangerous ingredients, navigating treacherous alliances, and ultimately descending into the mounds of the dead, where something ancient and merciless stands guard.

She won't face it alone. A disgraced prince. A battle-hardened Magika. A skin changer bound to secrets the forest has kept for centuries. Together, they will cross oceans, survive storms, and face enemies that defy mortal understanding.

But the darkest revelation isn't waiting at the end of the quest.

It's been with her all along.

Perfect for fans of The Witcher, The Name of the Wind, and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

The Seer's Ascent — where prophecy meets a truth that cannot be undone.

The Second Rising, named after the prophesied rebirth central to the series' lore, is the inaugural installment in the three-volume Chronicles of Arghost saga.

Embark on this thrilling adventure and join Niama and her companions as they brave the darkness of Arghost. Will the light of hope triumph? Find out in 'The Second Rising'—seize your destiny with a copy today!
