For generations, the seven kingdoms of Aethelgard have lived beneath a dying sky. Colors have faded, the air has grown dangerously thin, and endless wars have drained the world of its magic. At the heart of this suffering stands an ancient prophecy: the Castle of Seven Dawns will rise only when the blood of kings is spilled upon a sacred altar.Princess Aurelia has always trusted the man who taught her to understand that prophecy-Silas Crawford, her mentor and the kingdom's revered scholar. But after a funeral for fifty fallen soldiers, Aurelia begins to question the endless violence being called sacred. In the forgotten depths of the Royal Archives, she discovers an ancient Lexicon that reveals a devastating truth. The prophecy was never a command for bloodshed. The word Silas translated as sacrifice actually points toward disarmament, while blood carries an older meaning connected to preservation and stillness. The Castle does not demand war. It demands peace.Armed with this forbidden knowledge, Aurelia risks everything to convince the exiled Prince Julian Mercer to halt the Northern armies for a single day. When the first dawn arrives without bloodshed, a translucent spire appears on the horizon-and the world begins to regain its lost color. But one day of peace is only the beginning. Aurelia must cross hostile kingdoms, confront King Victor Holloway of the Iron Reaches, negotiate with suspicious rulers, and persuade enemies who have spent centuries believing that survival depends upon the sword.As each sunrise strengthens the miraculous Castle, Silas becomes increasingly desperate to destroy what Aurelia is building. His ancient lie has controlled generations through fear, and the return of magic threatens everything he believes about humanity. When violence is deliberately unleashed on the eve of the seventh dawn, Aurelia faces her greatest challenge: convincing rulers who have lived by the blade that true peace requires more than a temporary ceasefire-it requires the courage to surrender the weapons that make war possible.Beautifully atmospheric and driven by themes of courage, trust, sacrifice, and renewal, The Castle Built from Seven Sunrises is a sweeping fantasy about breaking inherited cycles of violence. As the final dawn approaches, Aurelia must decide what kind of ruler she will become-and whether a world that has forgotten how to hope can finally learn to live in the light.
