Eyes Of The Blackest Cloud
The Cloud prevents all sunlight from touching Earth. No one knows where it came from or why it's here, and all efforts to investigate this black mass have failed. However, three men and women from different parts of the globe find themselves pulled beyond the Cloud's veil. They become integral pawns in an extraterrestrial play motivated by the greed of immortal beings and a prophecy as old as the universe. But this play puts humanity's very existence at risk. While these six humans may be partly divine, they would prefer to plot against the will of the "Gods" than do their part in destroying their planet.

One of these six people is Kevin Martinez, a young man whose life was darkened by shadows well before the Cloud appeared. Although one disappointment after another leaves Kevin jaded, he still has love in his heart for his dogs, his dad, and his childhood friend Liza. When he finds himself looped into a stranger world than the one he knew, he must make a decision that will impact not only himself but every living being on Earth.
Samira Hafidi is a Moroccan woman stuck living in France since the Cloud interrupted her studies abroad. With the help of her best friend Noelle, she meets Leo with the purpose of finding a romantic partner who she can someday marry. But when both she and Leo are thrust into the same nightmare as Kevin and Liza, their world is flipped upside down and they must flee France to escape false imprisonment. They go from living comfortably in the countryside to running from evil, living homeless in unfamiliar territories.
Zeke has forsaken his medical degree for a chance to live on the water, indulging in life's many pleasures below deck. However, his time as a stowaway is cut short when the captain's daughter, Nadine Gupta, forces him out of his hiding place. After losing his spot on a mechanic ship that sets out to repair the UV lights in the ocean, he finds himself separated from Nadine, in a country where he cannot speak the native language. His world is collapsing, as is his mind; he seems to be suffering from amnesia. But amnesia aside, he and Nadine are also marked with the Eyes of the Cloud. They are fated to rejoin.
It is only a matter of time before they all must dive headfirst into the cosmic chaos that has selected Earth as a battleground. No matter what side they fight for, "angel" or "demon," "alien" or "mankind," they stand to lose everything. Even themselves.
