Book 1

Seventeen year old Hector Fishman doesn’t know ​why his small village, where a remanat still keep the ​Old Way, is one of the last five villages on earth. He ​doesn’t know why all who leave the village for the ​City never return, or why his parents left him behind ​when they took his dying sister there with the hope ​of saving her, or why his foster father, First Elder ​Judicael, refuses to supply any answers. He only ​knows that his childhood friend, Mia Fuller, ​understands his pain, and he loves her for it.


But when a beautiful visitor from the City appears in ​the village with news that Hector’s parents are ​captives in an ancient, cosmic war, a war against ​suffering and death itself, Hector leaves to bring his ​family home, promising Mia he will be the first to ever ​return. In the struggle that follows, where the fate of ​the world and everyone he loves hangs in the ​balance, Hector finds there are battles that cannot be ​won and adversaries that cannot be defeated with ​any weapons made by man.
