HE DREAMED OF POWER
NOW HE’LL FIGHT TO CLAIM IT—NO MATTER THE COST

Marak is a sixteen-year-old farmboy with impossible ambitions. While others toil in the fields, he dreams of empires, conquest, and absolute power.

When a wandering knight offers to take him on as a squire, Marak seizes the chance to leave behind his quiet village life. But the world beyond the farm is no fairy tale. It's brutal, bloodstained, and ruled by blades, lies, and shadow.

Thrown into a city on the brink of chaos—where a mysterious figure known only as The Exarch is rising—Marak begins his ruthless climb. To survive, he'll need to become more than just a knight. He'll need allies, arcane strength, and the will to outmatch monsters, kings, and gods alike.

In Telemir, power comes at a price.
And Marak is willing to pay it in blood.


The Dark Ascension Series spans two thousand years of epic conquest, following a driven anti-hero as he rises from nothing to forge the greatest empire the world has ever seen. Packed with explosive magic, political intrigue, unforgettable characters, and a relentless climb to power—Book 1 marks the beginning of a journey you won’t forget.
