Damien Black blends epic fantasy, theological horror, and sword-and-sorcery adventure in the Broken Stone Chronicle. Warlock’s Sun Rising occupies the second position, following Devil’s Night Dawning. Released in 2017, it follows witch hunters Horskram and Adelko as they pursue the warlock Andragorix and seek an alliance with an Earth Witch. The conflict expands beyond one hunt when a supernatural army threatens the Free Kingdoms and deception spreads toward Pangonia. The dark fantasy epic continues the Broken Stone reading order. Black’s debut in the series reached fourth place in the 2017 Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off, bringing attention to the chronicle. Warlock’s Sun Rising develops the moral and religious tensions established in the first volume, especially the boundary between forbidden power and necessary cooperation when characters face an enemy whose plans reach across kingdoms and into the series’ otherworldly Gehenna. Its quest structure broadens the danger from individual pursuit to conflict among realms.
