📝 Description: The Coming of Schades

Ja Carlton’s The Coming of Schades presents a narrative centered on two boys who share a single soul.

To prevent extinction across both worlds and all life, the protagonists must learn to harness the powers inherent in their ancient bloodline. Their quest requires them to call forth the descendants of Earth's first heroes. The story draws upon traditions of supernatural fiction and gothic horror to explore themes of dual existence and inherited power.
