The Chiaroscuro are a legendary set of twins, said to change the world. They are rumored to be beings of great power, children of the Archangel Raphael, who feed on the light and darkness in one another, and together they would destroy the world as we know it. Except, it's not a myth. The Chiaroscuro are real. The government has kept them apart for generations, fearful of them and the damage they would do to the empire that they have created from the dust of what was once the Land of the Free. We are not free anymore, and those of us who believe are desperate for The Chairoscuro to come save us. Despite what they tell us, we believe that they will come for us, and bring an end to the Tashian reign. *****NEW CHAPTER EVERY WEEK(at least)***** All critics welcome!
