Shadow Portals

Some things stay buried for a reason. Deep beneath an ancient Place of Power, Nidra and her sister Zuzanna uncover writings no Lightbringer was meant to read. They speak of masters of water, earth, air and fire. Of abilities that once existed, and of the man who wanted all of them for himself. But more than writings was left behind. Zuzanna touches the wrong thing and falls into a sleep no healing can reach. To save her, Nidra does what no Lightbringer would ever do. She turns to the Collective for help. Justin now knows he came to life in one of the Collective’s labs. When the Wolf Clan is betrayed, not everyone is sure it wasn’t him. Until the truth comes out, Alpha sends him and his pack to the Training Grounds, a hidden camp at the edge of Leviathan territory where only the best young fighters are admitted. There, holding back is seen as weakness. Justin has a fire he can’t control and instincts nobody taught him, but he has none of the discipline the others grew up with. And while he fights to earn his place, Nidra’s struggle keeps pulling at him. Somewhere between light and darkness, a door is opening. Everyone keeps asking what he is. Justin has to prove who he is.
