Prologue to Chaos
Sanctum of the Archmage: Dawn of Chaos, Book 1
Prologue to Chaos is the first book in the Dawn of Chaos Trilogy.
This post will serve as a “Table of Contents” for Prologue to Chaos as it is published to Substack. Links will be added below as its chapters and scenes become available. Feel free to bookmark and use this post to navigate and keep track of the book.
The royal family of Carlissa struggles to guide their land into a new age of enlightenment. But when a radical professor of magic is targeted for heresy by the Inquisition, they end up in the crossfire. That violent confrontation spawns political infighting in the kingdom, and leads to the return of a dark and ancient threat thought lost to the legends of time.
Prologue to Chaos introduces the vast world and cast of characters of the Sanctum of the Archmage saga. Aron and Gerard, princes of Carlissa, race to stop the rampage of an arrogant mage. King Danor navigates his government’s factions in a struggle to reform its archaic laws. Orion, a scholar, prepares for his first day as an instructor at the academy, while Randia, a talented bard, looks forward to a life of music and theater with her beloved consort.
They do not know it yet, but each of them will be called upon to fight or die in a desperate battle that follows the opening of the Hell Gate.
