Born of Light and Shadow - Kirk Ryan

For generations, brave warriors known as Adanists have fought to hold back a rising tide of mysterious invaders and shadowy monsters. Despite their heroic efforts, they are losing.

But the night is always darkest before the dawn, and a new generation rises to fight the endless battle.

Elian and Samora are siblings, adanists born and raised in a village that has rarely known the bitter taste of war. When they encounter an unfathomable weapon not far from their village, they're forced to leave the comforting embrace of home to seek answers from the wandering clans of warriors that protect their land.

Their quest will thrust them directly into the last desperate actions of a war that threatens to wipe their people from the land. Their enemies grow stronger as their heroes fall.

So long as courage remains, hope lives.

As the final chapters of the war's story are written, the rise of two unlikely heroes begins. But have they arrived in time, or are they too late to save all that they love?
