HIATUS "O vermelho, a cor da nova nação; O fogo, a causa da destruição; A árvore, a razão da união; A Árvore Vermelha, vossa salvação." (Trecho retirado do canto do clã Ignatius.) Combustões humanas espontâneas. Ataques terroristas com milhares de vítimas inocentes. Pessoas encontradas mortas sem nenhuma causa evidente. Como isso tudo poderia estar relacionado a Ridney Makenna, uma menina de 14 anos que passou a vida sendo maltratada pela sociedade, e a James Silver, um garoto de 16, que sempre possuiu uma vida de pura diversão? Ela tinha olhos vermelhos. Ele tinha olhos dourados. Ela era a garota estranha. Ele era o cara legal. Um desastroso acidente os uniu, e mudou seus destinos e os de todos no mundo para sempre. Mas... O que a Árvoren Vermelha tem a ver com tudo isso? Será ela apenas mais uma lenda contada pelo clã Ignatius? E por que será que esse nome soa estranhamente familiar para Ridney...?

Age of Darkness is the story of Keimaro Hayashi, a young man tormented and shunned for reasons unknown to him. When his village is attacked and his adopted family slaughtered, Keimaro must join with his only friend, Yata, to find vengeance for those he loved most. Hounded by a terrorist organization known as the Bounts, Keimaro travels far from his simple, shielded home into a world filled with espionage, magic, and betrayal. He gains allies along the way-others who have been wronged by the Faar Empire and who possess mystical powers that offer unique possibilities. Along the way, he faces temptation in the form of the enchanting Princess Aika and his own dark desires to overthrow the very gods who condemned his people. Keimaro faces the demon within himself and presses on, learning that vengeance can be found in many forms. Age of Darkness is about one man's struggle to find the good within himself and to protect those he loves.
