The stars are going out.
This is the only certainty, besides his own name, that Casek wakes with, strapped to a table among the ruins of a faintly familiar building. Armed with only a strange voice in his head and what few, fragmented memories survived his age-long sleep, he must escape his prison and survive long enough to build a new life of peace and happiness for himself. Unfortunately, the world outside is one ravaged by the Shadow: parasitic, demonic entities that sustain themselves with the energy of other living beings.
World by world they have stripped the stars bare of life, and now the final dying embers of a once-great human civilisation fight a losing battle against an inexhaustible enemy. The Last Human City, Oreia, remains hidden from the enemy, and its force of Shadow Binders continue to stand firm, a final, formidable bulwark against the encroaching dark.
However, their numbers dwindle by the day, and the Shadow prepares its forces to overwhelm the last of humanity's resistance. If Casek is to survive for long, he must find the city before it falls, and somehow discover a way to turn the tide against impossible odds before it's too late.
The Shadow Binder is a progression fantasy whose regular release schedule will be once weekly on Sundays, at 10pm GMT.
