Shadow And Bone

In the world of Orthos, where two suns battle for the sky, Eilan Voss lives an ordinary life as a cleaner in the Cloud Archipelago. He dreams of joining the Warrior Legion, but his body rejects Aether completely. His life changes in a single night when mysterious parasitic creatures called "The Spores" descend. One tries to take over his brain, but Eilan stops it—only to discover the parasite has taken control of his right hand, creating a being with two minds in one body: Veltis. As Eilan learns to coexist with his inner parasite, he discovers the world isn't what it seems. Servina Lux, the exiled emperor's daughter, leads a secret revolution behind a mask. The Great Naked Ones emerge from nowhere. And Shadow Emperor Vandal Grim plans "The Extermination Protocol"—destroying half of humanity to save the planet. As corrupted Aether spreads and humans transform into monsters, Eilan faces an existential question: Are the parasites the real enemy, or are humans themselves? Between loyalty and friendship, between survival and humanity, Eilan must choose his fate: become a monster that saves the world, or a human that destroys it. "The veil rises... and the world waits."
