"There are things that go bump in the night and things that do more than bump. Behind the world that we know is the world of the Sahae, a shadowy reflection of our own. Once the dominant species on the planet, the Sahae fell to infighting, leaving mankind to its own devices. In just a few short millenniums, man has risen as a power to thwart the Sahae, and now they have returned to reclaim their place of dominance. Eric Green is an unknowing part of this mysterious world. Half human, half Sahae, he is lost between two worlds; the shadowy world of the Sahae that would see him destroyed, and the human world where his future is far from certain. As an orphan that spent his entire life feeling unwanted and fundamentally broken, Eric has finally found a real home with the Greens in Seaverville, IA. No sooner has he settled in to his new life when mysterious things begin to happen. From his unexplained martial prowess, to an unbelievable visitor from his past, his world is thrown into chaos. Now faced with the truth of who and what he is, Eric must survive long enough to figure out where he fits into this new reality--if a place exists for him at all."--Page 4 of cover
