Meet Quorin Andreas. A nineteen year old who briefly experiences death. After being revived, he retained a memory of an awareness that was not his own. An ethereal darkness that tried to latch on to his soul, making him a vessel. Can he save himself and possibly the world? Or will the machinations of those that hunt him lead to his destruction... or worse?
