We've been here before. The knowledge and technology of this world should have eradicated social inequality and hunger. And yet, the shadows of human nature persist. In a reality where everything seems achievable, five individuals grapple with the hidden forces pulling the strings behind society's veneer of progress. As the illusion of control unravels, they begin to uncover a truth far more complex than they ever imagined-a truth that will force them to confront not only the world around them but the deepest parts of themselves. The Schattenwelten Trilogy explores the limits of progress, the intricacies of power, and the eternal struggle to remain human in a world that has lost its way. It is a story of personal transformation set against the backdrop of a collapsing world, where not even the brightest minds can prevent the darkness from creeping in. 1: The First Shadows In a world that should have transcended inequality and scarcity, cracks are beginning to show. Though technological advancement and vast knowledge have reshaped society, unresolved tensions simmer beneath the surface. Five individuals, each with their own past and secrets, are drawn into a growing global crisis that threatens to upend the fragile balance of power. While the world's leaders from nations like Tarkaan and Velloris secretly maneuver to tighten their control, extremist factions rise, exploiting the discontent of the masses. As the old order starts to unravel, the five must confront not only the forces threatening to tear the world apart but also the uncomfortable truths about their own lives. The answers they seek may lie in the shadows that are closing in, but what they find there will change everything. "The First Shadows" is the beginning of a tale of moral dilemmas, hidden agendas, and the realization that even a world built on knowledge can fall victim to the darkness of human nature.

Ein böses Spiel ohne Regeln mit dem Bruder meiner besten Freundin *** Wenn man die Namen Rina und Mason in einem Satz hört, weiß man sofort, dass das nichts Gutes bedeuten kann. Denn die beiden hassen sich, seit sie sich zum ersten Mal im Sandkasten begegnet sind, und sie hassen sich bis heute. Sie spielen ein böses Spiel ohne Regeln und kennen keine Grenzen, wenn es darum geht zu gewinnen oder den anderen zu demütigen. So scheint es zumindest, bis eine Nacht alles verändert.
