War rages. Dragons rise. A nation falls. The end of the world begins.

For a hundred years, civil war has decimated Andaaya. Beyond the Elven lands, cities burn as the might of the Firewalker Order grows and the Oathsworn Order wanes. Bolstered by forbidden blood magic, the Firewalkers push the Oathsworn and its leader, Silvanus, to the brink of destruction, tightening their noose. When a new prophecy whispers untold power, Silvanus must choose: will he entrust the fate of his people to the Creator, or seize destiny for his own?

Life in the capital city has defined Havarius as he serves on behalf of the Oathsworn. Yet even in the city’s splendor, darkness grows. As the war closes in, Havarius must choose: allegiance to his Order, or devotion to the woman he secretly loves. To stop the annihilation of his people, will he betray the one who holds his heart?

As hope fails and loyalties are tested, witness the shocking events that seal the fate of the nation and change the course of the world forever.

The Cataclysm is a standalone prequel to The Oathsworn Chronicles series, set five hundred years before Micah Stormcrown’s story begins. See how Micah grapples with its consequences in The Oathsworn Chronicles: Awakening.

Z.R. McCormick

An IT professional by day and quest-seeking fantasy geek by night (once the younglings are in bed), Z.R. McCormick enjoys escaping to the fascinating worlds of others’ God-given imaginations, while also spinning tales of his own. When he’s not writing or nose deep in a book, he loves spending time with his beautiful wife.

His debut novel, The Oathsworn Chronicles: Awakening, is the culmination of many voyages to the world of Aldaria. Though, until the darkness there is vanquished, Z.R. is content to read about someone else’s adventures with a cold brew and a cozy chair which, as you might agree, is rather sensible.
