In a near-future Britain where myth and mind have begun to intertwine, teenagers afflicted with Mythic Dissociation - a condition that fuses their consciousness with fragments of ancient gods - are quietly institutionalised in a government facility known as Ecliptic Ward. Hidden beneath the white cliffs of Dover, the ward is part psychiatric hospital, part containment lab. Its patients are considered unstable, dangerous, or possibly divine.

Beneath the Shadowlanders
We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.Complete
