SHADE: The Passing

SHADE: The Passing

Shadow rank ~#1501 in Sci-fi↓12

When power chooses a boy, the fate of worlds will depend on what he chooses to become. In a universe scarred by an ancient war between godlike beings of light and shadow, the final breath of a dying king unleashed Vigor across the stars—an invisible power that now chooses human champions to continue a war older than creation itself. For nearly a thousand years, the Sacers held the darkness at bay. But beyond the borders of the United Homeworlds, the brutal Erini have risen, worshiping power above all things and forging warriors through blood and slaughter. As forgotten prophecies awaken and the mysterious power known as the Passing searches for its next heir, young warriors, kings, and monsters alike will discover a terrifying truth: the ancient war between the Lumenus and Noctus never ended… it merely found new hands to wield their weapons.
