Over the years, a black sun has risen twice. A dark dawn whose rays have done terrible things to people's minds, driving them to all sorts of horror. Twelve years have passed since the last time and the world still fears the return of that inexplicable phenomenon. But fear is not the only legacy of those terrible days. All the women who got pregnant under the influence of the black sun have given birth to babies with some… peculiarities. White hair, ashy skin, abnormal proportions, and eyes as red as fire: the Children of the Black Sun.
The older children of the black sun continue to initiate their younger counterparts into their way of thinking and incorporate them into their plan for Brightvale. But even before all of the elements of what they have in store are revealed, the town’s descent into madness is already taking hold and turning the world on its head.
