Avalon has spent his life in the sun-drenched fields of Haven, a village where the suns never set and darkness is but a myth. But myths have a way of becoming nightmares. When a sudden, unholy eclipse plunges his world into a chilling, blood-scented dark that only he and his friends seem to remember, Avalon realizes the peaceful life he knew was a fragile illusion. Now, forced to leave his home to join the King's army, Avalon is thrust into a world of ancient grudges and shifting shadows.
Accompanied by his childhood friend Clariss-whose loyalty is as fierce as her hidden fears-and a pair of mysterious travelers with blood-stained pasts, Avalon must navigate a landscape where magic is a volatile burden and monsters are more than just stories told to children. As Avalon struggles to master a sword that hums with a strange, multi-colored power, he discovers that the true enemy may not be the creatures hunting them from the trees, but the secrets buried in the hearts of those they are sworn to protect.
In a kingdom where the light is failing and the adults are paralyzed by a fear they refuse to name, the only way to survive the rising darkness is to embrace it.
