Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này

For over three hundred years, the Diarchy of Ari has been free from the Shadowfell, the name given to the dark side of the once tidally locked planet of Euti. For three centuries the bird-like people known as the dakri have been free from the nightmares given flesh that the Shadowfell bred, as well as the tyrannical ruling class that claimed sovereignty over every dakri alive. Ari's rulers, the Solar Diarch, have led their people into peace and prosperity the likes of which the world has never known.

Yet, no matter how great the peace is, there are always those who would shatter it for their own selfish ends.

Six months ago, a strange metal object fell from the sky, and out of its carcass came a lone survivor. Twisted by monstrosities beyond comprehension, he was used as a weapon of war for an empire that desperately seeks to reclaim its former glory, and on his lips was a dire warning: They will come for you next.

Now, with an interstellar war at their doorstep, Tor, the King of the Morning, and his wife, Ja'vail, the Queen of the Night, rally their allies and attempt to make peace with old enemies, for the fires that swiftly approach their little world are far worse than any they have witnessed before.

Yet, even as the forces of Ari marshal to battle, dark forces work from within, moving to undermine the little diarchy's efforts to stave off the death of their world. More than just nightmares lurked in the dark of the Shadowfell, and they seek to restore that ancient curse, to regain their power over the Children of the Sky, and see the invaders not as the scourge that they are, but as tools to aid them in their conquest.

And unbeknownst to all, an ancient power claws at its cage, seeking vengeance against heroes and gods that entombed it within.

With alien monsters at the gates, and evils conspiring from within, the Diarchy of Ari must seek aid from the unlikeliest of sources, while caught in the middle of it all is a single human, desperately struggling to survive against the terror of the past that threatens to utterly destroy everything he cares about.

This is the second book in The Humanity Within Trilogy. An epic series written by Knight Breeze following a story where swords and sorcery clash with an alien empire, all while a single mutated human caught in the crossfire desperately tries his best to survive.

This series contains the following printed or planned books:

What I've Become.

Nightmare of the Past.

Legends of the Future. (Planned, title still subject to change)
