Remember the Dawn

Ten years ago, an order of magic-resistant peacekeepers crushed an uprising of starlight magicians. A fragile balance has settled over the world. Despite the anger simmering within the five families, they have lived in a truce with the starless under the careful watch of the peacekeepers-until now. Someone is killing magicians. The murders have disrupted the balance and thrown the islands into chaos, and the factions are readying themselves for another war. But meanwhile... AHRYN, eldest child of an Astral house, abandons her studies and hunts the assassin who slayed her family. But her starlight magic is wild and untrained-dangerous. EZAI is lost, a victim of the corruption that plagues his order, and a stain on his family's legacy. Seeking purpose, he promises a grieving father to bring justice one last time. TAKHA, a commoner and master of manipulation who never had a family, latches onto the winds of rebellion surging through the people in his endless search for power. Each has a part to play in the coming conflict, but none knows of the danger forgotten by time stirring on the horizon, and it will take a union of starlight, steel, and faith to find salvation. A. M. Macdonald writes science fiction and epic fantasy. REMEMBER THE DAWN is the first book of the STARSINGERS, a sword and sorcery saga that takes place in a world with a distinct magic system and an elaborate and expansive history.
