Children of Light and Shadow - Kirk Ryan

A new generation of warriors arises

Two generations have passed since Elian, Samora, and the united wandering clans fought against the greatest threat their world had ever seen. The land has known peace, and in that peace, humanity has flourished, regaining much of what had been lost during the endless years of war.

Now an elder of her own clan, Samora has never believed the war against the Debru was over, but even she isn't prepared for the overwhelming strength of the foe that appears one sunny day to enslave humanity. She and her family have grown strong, but they are still children playing with powers they don't fully understand.

Like his sister, Elian has spent the years since the war preparing for another invasion, but he'll soon find that humanity's greatest threats come from among their own allies. Even he doesn't know how to lead a people that don't want to fight.

As Elian and Samora struggle both against former friends and this new enemy, it is their children and grandchildren that must lead the way into a brighter future.

But only if they can conquer the darkness in their own hearts.
