About Dawn of the Lightbearer
An ancient blade awakens. A nameless boy takes it in hand. Something must break—his enemies, or his soul.
In a dying empire, sixteen-year-old blacksmith’s apprentice Erikson Gray unearths Lightbearer, a lost sword bound to a forgotten voice. It whispers promises. It waits to be obeyed—and it has chosen him.
Now hunted by the emperor, zealots, and the scattered powers of a fractured realm, Erik flees with two outcast knights and a band of thieves. But the blade’s voice grows louder.
It knows his doubts. It feeds on his need.
As trust rots and loyalty breaks, Erik must choose: forge his own path—or bend to the sword’s counsel.
Dawn of the Lightbearer begins the Absolution of the Morning Star saga, a grimdark epic of cursed legacies, fractured loyalties, and the razor’s edge between savior and monster.

Author Bio:
Scott Austin Tirrell loves dark speculative fiction, conjuring isolated worlds where ancient mysteries, the raw power of nature, and the paranormal entwine. His work is steeped in the arcane, drawing from history’s forgotten corners and the supernatural’s unsettling grasp. With a style shaped by Clive Barker, Frank Herbert, and Joe Abercrombie, Scott crafts narratives that pull ordinary, flawed souls into the extraordinary, where reality frays, shadows lengthen, and the unknown whispers from the void. Scott has published seven books, with Koen set to be released in 2025 under Grendel Press. Residing in Boston with his wife, Scott draws inspiration from the region’s haunted past and spectral folklore. He invites readers to step beyond the veil and into his worlds, where every tale descends into the deeper, darker truths of the human condition.
