For generations, the Empire has ruled with iron law and Arcane fire—branding the faithful as heretics and crushing dissent with Inquisitors and fear. In the quiet river town of Winthrop, the Hawthorne family survives by keeping their faith hidden. But when the resurfacing of long-lost Templars sparks political panic, the Empire turns its full gaze upon them…and everything they know is ripped away in a single night.

Forced into a desperate flight, Dain, Elise, Garrick, and Liora uncover long-buried truths of the fallen Templars—truths that expose the Empire’s lies. As rebellion stirs and ancient darkness rises, the Hawthornes must face treachery and harrowing trials as the fate of a realm hangs in the balance.

The Templars of Alderath opens a sweeping new epic fantasy saga for readers drawn to long roads, impossible choices, and rich characters who refuse to break.
