Synopsis

Lightfall, built on corpses of shadows.

When a war between two factions, the Lightwielders and the Shadowcasters, breaks out in Lightfall, only one emerges victorious leading hundreds to hide in the underbelly of the city. Surviving in filth and thriving lawlessly. One group rises above them all, The Hawks.

Aster's chance encounter with the gang and its leader leads him to befriend them and an unlikely friendship blooms. And maybe more, with Zeph, the charismatic, dangerous and mysterious leader that always seemed to appear from within the shadows.

But can the privileged boy from the victorious Lightwielder faction ever really be a Hawk?

The underbelly after all, is dirt cheap. But the most expensive thing to have there is morals.
