Shades of War

When timid but stubborn Daniel Grace gets signed on as a spy in the war against traitor Prince Ellatar and his space invasion, he thinks it is for his genius level hacking prowess. But the military may have had other reasons for choosing a first year Academy student to infiltrate Ellatar's palace.

Cassidia Reynolds is everything Daniel isn't. She's outgoing and emotive, with an unflinching belief in romantic ideals like Freedom and Destiny. Driven by visions of a divine weapon that can save the planet from Ellatar's conquest, Cass runs away from her family's farm to join the Dralinian Army. Instead, she is caught up in the lives of Daniel and his team on their journey to Telel, where her tale may be darker than the one she bargained for.

As a part of a group of misfits chosen for their unique skills, their mission is to find and destroy Ellatar's hell-portal before man-eating shades overrun all of Dralina.
