A Glimmer of Hope (eBook)

In a metropolis of six hundred million souls where the dawn is stained with the memory of blood, the struggle of the friends from the distant east enters its most desperate phase. Their leader and a young orphan girl remain lost in the shadows after a second terrifying burst of light, while the safety of their captive brother hangs by a single, fraying thread. Forced into a labyrinth of deception, the remaining companions must execute a high stakes exchange using dual decoys to outwit captors who seem to know their every move. As the metallic bones of a sunken colony ship groan beneath the city streets, ordinary men must master the art of mimicry and shadows to guard an ancient heritage. Mysterious hexagonal technology descends from the heavens, claiming its prize and leaving the group fractured and alone. In this world of stolen memories and shifting realities, the truth is a flickering lamp against an encroaching darkness. They must record this history before the final light erases their existence forever, clinging to a single glimmer of hope in a city that has forgotten its own origins.
