On the war-torn planet of Xibalba, Maria - queen of the Manticorian Armada - has swept across the land. For as long as anyone can remember, the planet has been separated to the land of the light - Angleu - and the land of perpetual darkness, Atrementia.

Now, Maria has found a glimmer of hope to conquer Atrementia. Creating a tear in the universe, she plans to bolster her forces from off-world. Little does she know that all she has strived to create may be coming undone.

Faced with moral dilemmas, familial obligations and arrogant distractions, a team is raised from the dregs of her actions. Romulus and Remus, twin werewolves and thought by many to be the last of their kind; Hisania Satiru Ripa, a satyr of blue gray skin; and Izanagi, a royal half-blood Elf.

The more the unlikely band learns about each other, the more they realize that their life is about to get complicated.

A riveting fantasy adventure, Shadows Of The Soul is the first book in the Shaded Souls series by Raymond Riddle.
