Dance the Shadows (2nd ed.)

Haven has passed many generations in peace, protected against encroaching Shadow by the Light that nurtures and sustains its people. Shadow brings chaos, and a dissolution of self for those who cannot withstand and control its power. But now, something has changed the balance between darkness and light, and Shadow has begun to encroach on Haven's lands. Trained by Graemor, a horribly maimed veteran with a cryptic history, a handful of young adults become Rangers to protect Haven. They've learned how to harness the power of Shadow to change and take on whatever form they desire, and to rescue those who have been claimed by Shadow. But their training hasn't prepared them for what's coming: Graemor's hidden past has caught up with him, and has brought the enmity of Shadow upon Haven. Amodai, one of his Rangers, must learn the true natures of Shadow and Light and, in so doing, save his village. For Shadow wraps ever closer about Haven, and little time remains before it washes over the village and its people.
