A great mystery has collapsed civilization and vanished nearly the whole of humanity. All that remains are the empty towns and cities and the scant survivors who hide and fend for themselves. Priest has seen no one in so long he has lost count of the months. He spends his days foraging about his abandoned small town, a place he haunts with no purpose other than to keep breathing. He simply remains.But one day a car speeds by in the snow of winter. Turmoil comes to his empty town. And soon he will find himself confronting the living again - and with them an all new presence. Something that lives within and outside the shadows, something that may hold answers to this great mystery of ruin. Featured in the Anthology White Giraffe as "Evenfall", this stand alone novella is part one in the Shades Chronicle, a post-apocalyptic series that brings four souls together over four books and sets the stage for the coming "The Shades Below" trilogy.
