A hidden bond. A rising darkness. A battle no one is ready to fight.
When ancient stars whisper and mountains bleed light, a past long buried begins to stir.
As Siver Pell makes its final preparations for winter, the ice and snow herald hunters from beyond the storms, merciless and unyielding, leaving the townsfolk with an impossible stand and die, or vanish into the dark beneath their feet.
Umar, a leader with more secrets than scars, must gamble everything on a desperate escape.
Cerin, an enigma whose blades speak louder than her past, vanishes on a mission no one else would dare. And deep in the cradle of the mountain, shadows awaken, offering salvation… or something far more dangerous.
In a world of haunted silence and dying light, every heartbeat matters.
Noah Flynnt is a UK-based author whose debut novel, The Darrian Shift, invites readers into Arukhan, a world standing at the edge of a new age, its fragile freedom threatened by buried secrets, forgotten magics, and forces stirring beyond the shadows.
Tense and rapid this is a brilliant book which I finished in a couple of days.
The storyline rarely lets up after the first few chapters. We meet plenty of characters who rarely feel one dimensional.
In just 300 pages the world grows and expands as characters are tested to the limit. New concepts are introduced carefully, both avoiding overload but also making you want to know more about this world.
If there’s one critique, some parts are resolved a little too quickly, but that’s being picky.
Will be picking up the sequel as soon as possible!

This book was a really good read. It really grabs you attention in the very beginning then slows down and but as it sets up the rest of the storyline. I would recommend giving this one a read. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
The book was a bit of a slow start, feeling more like a prologue than the main story. Once it got going I read the last half of the book in a couple of days. I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
