(COVER IS OBVIOUSLY TEMPORARY)
"Has anyone ever told you how the world came to be as it is now?"
A quiet snort before the answer, "'Course not, it's always been like this, hasn't it?"
"Well, you can believe that and head to bed now, or you can get cozy and listen to a story; one of friendship and betrayal, Markitesh and Shards, a Traveler's Gift and a Shadow's Bane, and how the Lost Ones came to be. After all, darkness is simply the absence of light, yet there's something about the Shadows that devoured the city's hope."

HEEEEEEEY IZ MA FIRST AU :D! Okay, technically it's my third, but this is the first PUBLISHED one (maybe-). I'm really excited for this story, because I have LOTS of ideas for world building and a good idea of what I want to happen for plot. There will be "Story POVs" and "Current Time POVs", but- even though all characters are connected in some way- they do take place in different periods of time. Yes, I did add Ezra in (if anyone even remembers who that is, lol-), and yes, there will be a good bunch of world building and likely a random character or two, not counting Lost Ones. Right, and concepts with be explained as time goes on. After all, that's the whole point of the book; to explain the story of how the world came to be the post-apocalyptic-type thing it is. Currently no trigger warnings, but this will likely be updated to have some as time goes on, so please be wary of that! Now, without further ado, I present to you "There's Something about the Shadows: A SockSquad/FoolishCrew AU".
