The Shard (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798277003275)

A shattered world. An ancient enemy. A destiny no one escapes.

When a mysterious crystalline relic known only as the Shard awakens, it rips open the boundary between worlds-revealing forgotten histories, buried bloodlines, and a cosmic war older than Eden itself.

Lavelle never asked to be chosen. Haunted by visions, hunted by a secret order, and bound to a force that predates humanity, he and his closest friends are thrust into a terrifying journey: from the streets of Philadelphia to the ruins of Mars, to alternate Earths where mankind has already fallen.

As the Shard evolves through its deadly forms-Memory, Tomb, Heart, and finally Trinity-Lavelle discovers the truth:

Some worlds are not broken... they are remembering.
And they remember him.

To survive Anak's rising darkness and the monstrous Legion that devours worlds, Lavelle must embrace the one role he fears most-

Harbinger of the end.
Or the beginning.
