Fast-paced dark fantasy infused with mystery, suspense, and dry humour!
The city of Caedia is ambushed by the army of Beorland. Kove, an outcast, a coward, unfit to join the King’s Guard huddles alone amidst the chaos as his city, his home, all that he loves is destroyed.
Tasked with the assassination of King Alban of Caedia, Raena S’ehn of the Black Knives witnesses an otherworldly power in the form of flame erupting from Kove’s body during the assault. With her assassination attempt thwarted, she opts to kidnap Kove in place of the king, taking him to her master hidden deep beneath Castle Villastrad at the edge of the world.
While Vaerghal assassins corrupt the kingdoms of the realm from within, they seek to summon a being of ancient, unspeakable evil known as the Dakaroth in order to consume Kove’s power, sending the world spiralling into chaos.
As the city of Caedia seeks to rebuild, Captain West of the King’s Guard is given strict orders from King Alban, ‘Just find him.’ After Captain West’s daughter Sasha is severely wounded by the fire, an act of treason becomes personal.
Find out what will come of Kove and the Eldritch Flame in this suspenseful dark fantasy trilogy!
Perfect Introduction to the Genre!
As a first time reader of this genre I'm pretty much hooked on grim dark now. The characters, atmosphere and pacing of this book really drew me into the world. The book is easy to follow but still has a sense of depth and complexity to it, giving it satisfying weight. Would definitely recommend this book if you're into the genre already or just testing it out for the first time.

Just What I Needed!
Been hearing about this genre for a while and decided to give this book a go. I’m surprised how much I am into it, strong characters and action with magic and dark twists, already ordered the second book. Give it a chance if you like dark fantasy, looking forward to more from this author.

Awesome Dark Fantasy Must Read!
I just finished “The Death Moon’s Scythe” written by Kyle Wilhelm. I loved the adventures, battles, relationship conflicts and the suspense of evil forces destroying their world. I can’t wait for book 2!
