About this book:

In a world perpetually shrouded by a sinister eclipse, Kael Windthorn, an unassuming apprentice scribe in the forlorn town of Graywick, stumbles upon a secret chamber and an obsidian globe that shatters his understanding of history. The globe reveals a shocking truth: the sun was not lost, but stolen and shattered by a shadowy faction known as the Nighthounds, its light fragmented into "Seed-Shards" across the land. This revelation thrusts Kael into an ancient prophecy, marking him as the "Awakened One" destined to rekindle the sun.

As whispers of this ancient truth stir, powerful factions converge on Graywick. Kael finds himself allied with a defiant Xylosian princess and her pragmatic sister, stoic Veridian hunters, and a disgraced Aeridorian knight. This unlikely fellowship embarks on a perilous odyssey, navigating treacherous landscapes and battling the Obsidian Hand—the descendants of the Nighthounds—who seek to control the scattered light for their own dark dominion. Through trials of magic, stealth, and heartbreaking betrayal, Kael and his allies must locate and unbind the Seed-Shards, culminating in a desperate confrontation at the heart of the Obsidian Hand's power, the Sunken Citadel.

"Eclipsed by Shadows" is an epic tale of courage, discovery, and the fight for a stolen light. It explores themes of truth versus deception, the allure of power, and the profound impact of betrayal on individuals and entire civilizations. As Kael embraces his destiny, he must not only confront ancient enemies and primordial magic but also mend fractured trust within his own fellowship. Ultimately, their quest leads them to the desolate Temple of Light, where a final, cataclysmic ritual will determine whether their world is forever consumed by darkness or finally, gloriously, rekindled by the sun's triumphant return.
