The Illuminated Darkness: Part 1

Who is the "bad" guy? A delightfully deceptive story about two individuals, Lamb and Donde, and their rise to the top, but there's an unknown shadow bent on bringing them down. Can they discover them before it's too late? Can you? Including romance, adventure, and self-discovery, it seems like a simple, predictable story, but you're being led. Lamb, with his love interest Liv, discovers many vital skills with their shifting, an ability to shift reality. Donde, from another kingdom, is not a Shifter but has many adventures and also ends up on top. The two are from competing nations but have a similar dark unknown shadow seeking their downfall. Will they find it in time?
