The Dark Hand | Dystopian Progression Fantasy [Volume 1 COMPLETE!]

The law only reaches the light. The shadows rule the rest. Cade and Nandox are two orphaned siblings who grew up roughened by the slums. Together they plan to change their awful life into the better by searching for clues on the root cause of their suffering. That was until they found the cause stumbling straight into their open arms. The Ceterus—the one supreme syndicate controlling the underworld—sent one of their own employees deep into the confines of the slums and the siblings wouldn’t let this chance slip through their fingers. Relying on their fists, brilliant strategies, and a growing crew of misfits, they launch a full-scale war to change their lives. What happens when two orphans from the slums declare war on a planetary level syndicate?
