Fractured Light
Book One of The Lightfall Trilogy
by H. Vale
Five years after the world first cracked open, six broken souls stand between life and oblivion.
Himari-cursed to die and be reborn-wields a soul-blade that seals the fractures between worlds, each strike costing her another piece of her life. Joshua, a warrior of fire, now fights to hold together what little remains of humanity. Beside them stand Minato, the weary guardian with obsidian wings; Naomi, the medic haunted by every thought she's touched; Lloyd, the spirit medium bound to restless ghosts; and Lamar, whose demonic strength is both gift and curse.
When the radiant being Astrael descends, proclaiming himself savior, their fragile unity shatters. His light burns not to heal-but to consume. To stop him, the six must risk everything, unraveling ancient prophecies and the truth of their own creation.
But even victory carries a price.
The fractures still bleed, the sky still scars, and a new power rises in Chelsea-the last to come forward when she awakened and the only one who can seal the world for good.
As hope flickers across a dying horizon, the survivors must decide: how much of themselves are they willing to lose to save what's left?
In a world where every soul is cracked and every sacrifice echoes, light itself may be the most dangerous weapon of all.
