Near & Afar

By S.M. Muse

A missing father.
A fractured city.
A forgotten legacy.

Thirteen-year-old Phillip is caught between boyhood and becoming a man when his search for his father leads him to a truth he never expected-and a destiny he never wanted. Meanwhile, in the heart of modern-day New York, a man prepares to marry the love of his life, blissfully unaware that his world is about to collide with a boy who holds the key to everything he never knew he lost.

In the shadows of New York, ancient forces stir. Their target: a royal bloodline erased from history 400 years ago. Their mission: to destroy it once and for all and plunge the world into darkness.

As the sky marks doom and the leaves of the Royal Bay whisper of a king's death, an unlikely trio rises: a fallen angel seeking redemption, a boy searching for answers, and an exiled king who doesn't know he's a king at all. Together, they are the last hope to stop an ancient evil from consuming everything.

Time is running out, and the truth could save the world-or tear it apart.

Discover the secrets. Face the shadows. Uncover the destiny.
In a city where light and dark collide, the battle for the future begins.
