Most believe King Vanarzir stole everyone's magic. How he did it, nobody knows. But the day he became king, all magic vanished. During the same moment of the magical moonlight heist a darkened dome shrouded all Alutopek. Even on the brightest of days it only shined like twilight within. Now Vanarzir sweeps across Alutopek, taking every child and forcing them into his army. Some rebelled while others tried to run away. After their home of Datz was taken by the kin's men, two children, Rafik and Anza, manage to escape. While fleeing they accidentally awaken a necromancer. Now they must find a way to stop him, and the kind, before everyone is enslaved. Secrets from the past come to light, enemies become friends, and nothing is safe under the Reign of Shadows.
