All his life, Garret Raidenson was taught two specific ideas: the Calentals were a people living in the shadow of deception, who were in need of rescue, and it was him who was destined to do it.
When he meets a beautiful Calental girl in the forest, it's no surprise that Garret tries to save her from her brainwashed state. As their friendship begins to form, Garret learns that, perhaps, he is the one actually living in darkness. She talks to him about a freedom and peace he has only dreamed about, and a doomed love is formed between the enemies. The world will never again be the same.
But Garret is the son of the first High General, making him the third most powerful person among the Faonyals. He has been through training and schooling all his life to prepare him for his inevitable fate. He was born to wage war against Cael, the Lord of the Calentals, and unite the world under one order once again. With the weight of the world and it's future on his shoulders, Garret must learn to cope with the pressure, his father's abuse, and his own longing for more, making any relationship between the two groups completely impossible.
The line is swiftly drawn between the two sides, and Garret must choose which one is really shrouded in darkness. Will he choose his father and his destiny, or fight against fate and go with the girl who promises life? Through a journey of risks, romance, rejection, and confusion, Garret is determined to find the truth before the lies destroy him.

[Queer rage as a form of reckoning] [dark one destined to destroy the world] You can find this book on Amazon if you want to own a print version! *** As a healer in the Obsidian Castle, One follows a voice into the forest, speaking from the mist. It tells him he's the Destroyer, straight out of prophecy, and that he's not a Night Warrior like the other residents of the castle. Eight years later, One's doing a great job hiding that his magic works like no one else's in the Obsidian Castle. But Perseverance, a Night Warrior who believes One needs redirection to find "proper" romance, makes One's life miserable from sundown to sunup. So One's plan to get Perseverance out of his life is to date his daughter--until she discovers his light magic and turns on him, making him flee into the woods. One has many reasons to despise Perseverance. So when he meets Michael, an expert at light magic, it's really not a question of "if" One will embrace this prophetic Destroyer role and enact vengeance--it's a matter of One having no clue how to control his magic, or take on a castle full of Night Warriors by himself. But with Michael, he's not alone. And with their combined magic, One could summon the dawn itself to carry out revenge.Complete

The Golden Age- When the Traveler arrived, a time of peace, prosperity, and infinite possibility sprouted from Earth. Mankind had launched hundreds- if not, thousands- of journeys across the system, connecting Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, even Mercury into an increasingly large web of life and technology. Fast forward to the end of the Golden Age- The Collapse and the Dark Age- alien races surge forth from outside the system- the Eliksni, the Hive, The Cabal, The Vex- all coming for the Traveler. He fought them all, sending his Light, his Power out, crushing the opposition. Then, He was crippled, retreating to a small town. Fast forward to the beginning of our age- The City Age- With His dying breath, The Traveler created the Ghost- small machines that can revive those capable of wielding the Light- His Power- and fight the Darkness. The Hunters scout out terrain, reclaim Dead Zones, and are the eyes and ears of the City- the Warlocks research the secrets of the fundamental ideas of the Darkness, predict future events, and enthrall themselves in the workings of the Light to understand it and to find new ways to work it into the Guardians arsenal- and finally, the Titans, Defenders of the Last City, and the burning lights of hope in the shadows. Honor-driven. Leaders. Warriors. The Protectors of Humanity. Deeply intertwined in the history of the Last City. What happens when one is reborn and becomes one of the few able to wield the flame of hope as his own, to burn off the shackles of darkness that have been crushing humanity's will and hope to dust, What happens when he experiences so much tragedy, so much pain, that he delves into the shadows? What happens, when he finally snaps? And what happens to his loved ones when they are forced to put him down? And what will his Legend become, if he himself threatens the safety of the Last City. --------------- Thanks go out to the wonderful girl that most would know as @ShadowPine for the Cover art.
