Joel, Joshua, and Jordan have always shared a bond that defied explanation. From childhood, they moved with one instinct, one purpose, and an understanding that required no words. Years later, hardened by military service, the three return home to find their community sealed behind a military cordon—and swallowed by an impossible darkness. Determined to reach their families, they cross the perimeter and enter a nightmare no training could have prepared them to face. What begins as a rescue becomes a journey into another world, where ancient powers are stirring and the forces of creation stand on the edge of war. Hunted by creatures born from the Darkness and opposed by a fallen angel with plans reaching beyond a single world, the three brothers must uncover the truth of their bond—and the destiny that has followed them since childhood. Because the Darkness is spreading. And if they fail, it will not stop with their world.
