Tears of Darkness: Volume 1: Tragedy and Hope

By Sophia Liddell

Half of the world's population is exterminated by an unknown alien menace that depart as quickly as they came. Shortly thereafter, girls start being born with eyes that glow bright red, blue and yellow. As these girls reach pre-teen years, they develop special powers that no human has ever had before. A few years after the first aliens attacked, a self-propelled asteroid crashes and brings with it a new alien threat more devastating than the first. These aliens, known as Harvesters, are mindless but powerful. They quickly spread over the earth, devastating it where ever they go. The rest of humanity now resides in walled cities while the Harvesters have free-reign everywhere else. It was later discovered that the girls who developed special powers, self-destructed within a year of reaching menarche. The World Government forcibly conscripts these girls, known as Spirit Wielders, into military service so that their powers can benefit humanity before they self-destruct. Tears of Darkness follows nine year-old Valerie Bennet, a yellow-eyed Spirit Wielder, who is conscripted into the Spirit Wielder Corp. With her new comrades, Mary and Sarah, and her Lieutenant, Michael Snyder, they fight to protect what remains of humanity. Valerie learns the strength of friendship and trust, and the horrors of war.
