Orb Rider: Angel of Shadows

A reluctant hero, a dark angel, a new love, a world on the brink of falling apart.
He's not even seventeen yet, but Aurin's destiny looms like a spectre over his life. The Angel of Shadows has emerged, and Aurin isn't ready. In fact, he doesn't want to be ready. Who asked him if he wanted to be a hero?
So far he's avoided, evaded, and resisted his Calling in any way he can. Yes, as a result, he's been robbed, beaten, left for dead more than once, and has often woken up in places he's never heard of. Nevertheless, his mere survival is confirmation that once again his tactics have been working and those bullying Realmwalkers have failed.
Even so, strange events are eating into his world with gruesome consequences, and the pressure has reached a point of no return. Like it or not, he must risk his life and earthly life-form to become the Orb Rider he never wanted to be.
