Legend of the Shadow Guardian: Ascension of the Irregular

Five hundred years after an alien cataclysm reshaped the Earth, humanity survives in isolated, hostile cities, where every person is marked by a colored core that defines their destiny. In this world where power and survival go hand in hand, Kai Ender, a young man with a deformed, iridescent core, struggles each day to keep his sick sister alive. Seen as an outcast and rejected by all, Kai is forced to face horrors inside the mysterious portals known as Nexuses. What starts as just another desperate attempt to survive soon puts Kai face to face with a secret that could change his fate, and the future of all humanity. Amid monsters, shadows, and impossible choices, Kai must decide how far he’s willing to go to protect those he loves, in a universe where it’s not always clear who the real enemy is.
