Publisher's Synopsis
When a phenomenon in the form of a bright light illuminates the city of Chicago in the summer of 2019 it causes major blackouts, accidents, and many to be hospitalized.
Seventeen-year-old Hira Night witnessed a traumatic event when a routine cop stopped her and her boyfriend that night; the results devastating and heart-breaking. She is given a choice to fight for justice and right the wrongs of society, or do nothing and let the destruction of humanity continue.
Her world is thrown into chaos as she is confronted by creatures spawned from absolved negativity-Umbra Shades-that linger among the traumatized and abused.
To save the victims from their gruesome fate, Hira slays the creatures from preying on the innocent, all the while trying to live a normal life.
But something else lurks in the shadows, something much more dark and sinister than she's ever encountered before.
