The Shining River

The land of Hadar lies since countless ages under a shroud of darkness. There's the Legend that explains how all this has happened, and fifteen- year-old Elran, a true Korath, believes in the story even as he surrenders to his fate of being a captive to the gloom-possibly forever. Then one day he meets Ayra, the new girl in the village, and slowly Elran is drawn into the world of the Maldabrah. There Elran learns about a mystical river flowing through a remote region; a river in whose waters, he is told, ultimate freedom from the darkness can be found. It could be the truth or a blatant lie. Elran decides to find out. Yet, hardly has he begun his journey when he is hurled into a web of terror. Now Elran is trapped in a nightmare he never dreams is possible, a nightmare that turns his world upside down and changes him forever
