The Obsidian Knife

The Rending. An inexplicable event that tore rifts in the fabric between two worlds, forcibly connecting them. Now at war with the nightmares both sides face, evil is allowed to creep in the shadows and threatens to shatter the delicate balance of existence. Cyrus was born after the Rending, and like many others of his age, he was gyfted with abilities beyond his understanding. From the rifts came night creatures, monsters who gyfted like Cyrus were called to battle. However, when Cyrus meets a girl from the other side of the rifts, a girl he is supposed to be enemies with, everything he knows falls apart. Struggling to grasp who he is, how he fits into the conflicts he's facing, and who he wants to be, Cyrus is set on a collision course with his destiny, accompanied by his two best friends. Evelyn, whose competitive nature fuels Cyrus to be his best, and Blythe, whose cool, calm demeanor holds the bunch together; the three are plunged into the heart of a conflict of lies, love, betrayal, and the nature of true evil.

The clock is ticking as Lord Gideon, a nightmarish monarch from beyond the rifts, nears completion of a plot to annihilate everyone who stands in his way. It's up to Cyrus and his allies to master their gyfts, steel their resolve, and stop him before everything and everyone they love is destroyed.
