For listeners who miss old-school epic fantasy built on fellowship, courage, ancient magic and a vast world worth fighting for, The Coming of Darkness begins a classic-style quest in which ordinary people must stand against a gathering evil.

When Arthar Wolfhart discovers a mysterious amulet, he has no idea that its return will draw the attention of Morbydd and awaken a threat long thought lost to the world.

Dark armies are moving west. An empire faces war. Yet while rulers and armies prepare for conflict, the mysterious Warder warns that the greatest danger lies elsewhere. Morbydd seeks an ancient Gateway, and if it falls into his hands, the darkness beyond it could overwhelm the kingdoms of men. For Arthar, there can be no simple return to the life he knew. Drawn into a journey across unfamiliar lands, he must discover whether courage is enough when the choices of ordinary people may decide the fate of nations.

Old alliances must be renewed. Men must once again stand beside the Great Beasts. Armoured bears, war-wolves and the horse-born Aelf are drawn into a struggle against a darkness that threatens everything Arthar knows and loves. The Coming of Darkness is Book One of Chaos and Creation, a completed four-book epic fantasy saga of fellowship, honour, sacrifice, ancient powers and ordinary people called to achieve the extraordinary. For listeners who love old-school epic fantasy, traditional quests, richly built worlds, heroic fellowship and the timeless struggle between light and darkness.
