Tower of Dawn follows Chaol Westfall—once Captain of the Guard, now the wounded Hand of King Dorian—as he arrives in Antica, capital of the Khaganate of the Southern Continent. He and Captain Nesryn Faliq must convince the Great Khagan to join the war against the dark forces consuming their homeland, while Chaol seeks healing in the famed Torre Cesme.
Inside the Torre, healer Yrene Towers faces the most complicated case of her life: mending Chaol’s shattered spine—while confronting the bitter history Adarlan wrote in blood across her childhood. As political rivalries sharpen in the Khagan’s court and a hidden enemy begins striking, Chaol and Yrene uncover secrets buried beneath Antica itself—secrets that could shift the balance of the coming war, if they survive long enough to use them.
