The Watchfire: Scarlet Twilight (The Watchfire Trilogy Book 1)

There are no heroes in the city of Othage. Only survivors. For years, King Callahan V has ruled his kingdom through fear, an enabling bureaucracy, and an extensive and violent security apparatus. In Othage, dissent carries a devastating price. But fear is not the same as loyalty. And silence is not the same as surrender. Across the kingdom, individuals from all walks of life are united by the shared conviction that Othage deserves a future beyond King Callahan's iron grip. Working in the shadows, they form the Watchfire—a movement determined to challenge the powers that dominate their lives and kindle the possibility of a new dawn. In a kingdom where resistance must remain hidden, their struggle for freedom will test the limits of their courage, loyalty, and conviction. As the shadows across Othage deepen, one question remains: how much must be sacrificed to set a kingdom free?
