Fear is a double-edged weapon.
When a Shadow spreads over the utopian Colony, the only human enclave on a lonely planet, the young will be the first to understand the danger that hovers above them. What they find about themselves in that struggle will lead them to greatness... or to the destruction of their idyllic way of living.
For Arlan, the Shadow is his chance to prove himself and become a man in the eyes of his elders. His friend Seto has always stood in Arlan's shadow, but he might not have a choice but to step up. But their childhood friend Nara just wants to keep everyone around her safe… and that might mean standing in Arlan's way before he leads them to their doom.
Who will rise a hero, and who will become a monster?
In the tradition of Ursula K. Le Guin and Isaac Asimov, this is the story of a people who do not know fear... and what happens when they discover it.
