All The Bright Places

In the land of Orsus, where the strong protect the weak under the light of The Essence, peace and prosperity seem assured. But beneath the surface, darkness stirs. Orsus is haunted by the memory of Enyos, the mightiest protector who fell in a brutal battle against the mysterious "Witnesses," beings from a shattered world ravaged by the Bright Dark. The Essence grants rings of power to the chosen few, but even these gifts may not be enough to defend against the coming storm. A chilling prophecy foretells the arrival of a Prophet born of two opposing forces, destined to either destroy Orsus or reshape it entirely. In this tale of power, prophecy, and peril, the line between light and dark blurs, and the truth may be more dangerous than anyone could have imagined. The Legend of Atenyos begins—a journey that will challenge the very foundations of Orsus and its people.
