In Shadows of Dominion, a steampunk-inspired world teeters on the edge of chaos. The Dominion, a powerful order sworn to protect humanity from monstrous Eclipsekin and rebellious Emberborn, hides dark secrets beneath its noble facade. Midas Blackthorn, a devoted knight, begins to question the ideals he once upheld as he uncovers the sinister truths behind the Dominion’s rise to power. When the streets of Eredhavn erupt in violence, Midas’s path collides with that of his estranged brother, Malcor Blackthorn, the charismatic leader of the Emberborn rebellion. Malcor seeks to dismantle the Dominion’s tyranny and expose its corruption, forcing Midas to confront his loyalties and the painful secrets of their shared past. As revolution brews and war engulfs the city, a far greater danger stirs. Ancient forces awaken, threatening to consume all factions in their relentless pursuit of power. Caught between his duty, his family, and his own conscience, Midas must navigate treacherous alliances and confront the shadows that lie within the Dominion—and himself. A tale of betrayal, redemption, and the blurred lines between hero and villain, Shadows of Dominion is a gripping saga of courage and sacrifice in a world where nothing is as it seems.
