the saga continues!

"Darkness Falls is so wholesome. Yes, it's erotica but the growth of the characters and the way they interact with each other is beautiful."
~ Sarah N.


Journey of the Shadow: Darkness Falls is a science fiction, action, and romance novel that continues the saga of Commander Tsumisu, the “Humanoid Anomaly” and leader of the supernatural Sonzai warriors, as he seeks to stop an ancient evil—Nyugo, from being resurrected on Earth. 


If Nyugo succeeds, the Novum Goddesses, a Sister Deity Triad who oversee the Universe, will be in danger. 


But with the help of several phenomenally skilled extraterrestrial women-- Elite Mercenary Tetyana Ordovicia, Princess Suzuka Devonia, First Lieutenant Arlette Sauveterre, and Doctor Nataliya Artemis, alongside his best friend Shujin Iwato, The Mark of Evelyn, Tsumisu discovers there’s an unexpected enemy to contend with: Yorro, The Wretched. A formidable, cursed swordsman with a short temper.


Now, galactic genocide is on the horizon…and the clock is ticking.

SYNOPSIS  

  

Incidents of dark magic and horrific possessions skyrocket across modern-day Earth. A sign of an ancient nightmare who seeks resurrection: Nyugo.


Hidden from humankind for centuries, the supernatural warriors of the Sonzai clan spur into action. 


Blessed with staggering powers and wielding the Sword of Light, a young Commander Tsumisu leads the Sonzai on a global mission to stop Nyugo’s revival.


However, the Sonzai’s investigation takes a stunning turn: Tsumisu’s trusted friend, Shujin, is the Chosen One. And his presence on Earth attracts two extraterrestrial civilizations—the Devonians and Ordovicians, revealing an eight-hundred-year-old struggle to claim Shujin’s power.


As battles are waged, Tsumisu draws the attention of Nataliya Artemis, an Ordovician genius with a hidden identity…and knowledge about his origins.


With the fate of humanity in tenuous balance, can Commander Tsumisu solve this interplanetary riddle and stop Nyugo before time runs out? 


Dive into the first installment of Stone Abdullah's science fiction, action and romance novel series!
