Shaded Souls

On the war-torn planet of Xibalba, Maria—queen of the Manticorian Armada—has swept across the land. For as long as anyone can remember, the planet has been separated to the land of the light—Angleu—and the land of perpetual darkness, Atrementia.

Now, Maria has found a glimmer of hope to conquer Atrementia. Creating a tear in the universe, she plans to bolster her forces from off-world. Little does she know that all she has strived to create may be coming undone.

Faced with moral dilemmas, familial obligations, and arrogant distractions, a team is raised from the dregs of her actions. Romulus and Remus, twin werewolves and thought by many to be the last of their kind; Hisania Satiru Ripa, a satyr of blue-gray skin; and Izanagi, a royal half-blood Elf.

The more the unlikely band learns about each other, the more they realize that their life is about to get complicated.

A riveting fantasy adventure, Shadows of the Soul is the first book in the Shaded Souls series by Raymond Riddle.
