A World Cloaked in Darkness Over a century passes without a single sign from the Seven Gods of Nelabac, yet their wars continue throughout the Seven Realms. Even without their leader, the Goddess of Light's armies strive to destroy all in its path. Citizens of the realms don't ask where the gods went, only pray for their return. The Second Realm, once home to the believed-dead Goddess of Dark and her legion of Dark Saints, has suffered most, but hope exists yet . . . A Goddess Aurora wakes to her beloved home and people devastated by the war, and the Goddess of Light's powers are stronger than ever. No matter how difficult, Aurora wants nothing more than a peaceful solution to the war, but the years away have whittled Aurora's power and strength to near nothing. Aurora knows only she can end the war, but to do so, she'll find help in unlikely places. A Boy Madness has loathed the gods since before he could remember. He's lost all hope in the war, but then a strange girl finds him and his friends, and Madness is set on a path he never intended. The girl quickly reveals that she is the Goddess of Dark and has returned to save all of Nelabac. An Alliance to Save Them All Aurora aligns herself with Madness and his uniquely gifted mortal friends in an often contentious alliance that sets them across the Seven Realms to end the Goddess of Light's terror. They face dangerous armies, treacherous gods, and secrets of the past that threaten to shatter them whole.
