Shadows of the Exorvanes

In the year 2046, Sicily's olive groves whisper secrets under the moonlight-and Yuushen Accardi has always listened.

Quiet, dutiful, and haunted by dreams he can't explain, Yuushen is accepted into Umbra Notics Academy-a prestigious boarding school known for shaping the next generation of peacekeepers: the Exorvanes. These elite hunters are praised for protecting humanity from a mysterious species called Morpharions-creatures of shifting form and forgotten origin.

But when Yuushen stumbles upon a bleeding Morpharion in the academy's forbidden wing-and it doesn't attack him-everything begins to unravel.

The deeper he digs, the more the truth bleeds through the cracks: the Exorvanes are not saviors, and the Morpharions may be more human than the ones who hunt them. Together with his sister, Yuushen sets out to prove that harmony is possible.

But peace has a price.
And Yuushen?
He's not who he thought he was.
Not human.
Not innocent.
Not safe.

As reality twists and fractures, and voices whisper from the shadows of his mind, Yuushen must ask himself:
Can a monster save anything at all?
