Second Light

In a perfect world, children would never be valued less because of their genes, especially when those genes grant supernatural abilities. But the world is anything but perfect. The world is ruled by emotion.



Hikari is one of those children. Branded as kynenn, he’s sentenced to fight in a tournament where only one survivor is allowed. But before he ever steps into the arena, his life is dismantled piece by piece by the only man he would ever truly come to hate. Kamo destroyed everything Hikari knew—killed the children he grew up with, shattered the cage that housed him, and, in the end, took Hikari’s life—forcing him into a servitude not even Kamo could comprehend.



Polar opposites in thought but identical in their desires: to put an end to the survival game. The two boys must fight against a century-old system, as well as their own incompatibility.
