Five years past the End Times War, inside the bombed-out shell of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, seventeen-year-old Ronin Black discovers a portal to a secret realm where all of art's masterpieces, from doodles to Degas, blend into a vast canvas of shared emotion. Together with an outcast band of art misfits, this thief-turned-guardian discovers that the key to restoring humanity is closer than he imagined.

From navigating the often-corrupt Liberian political and educational system to extracting himself from his oppressor's polygamist network at the tender age of twelve, Augustine's Journey into adulthood was far from typical. When the country's first civil uprising forced young men to choose - kill or be killed - a series of strangers showed Augustine a powerful third choice: love.

The Nature of Shadows uses the reverence and self-effacing humor for which Liberians are known to craft a coming-of-age survival story that bears witness to the best and worst of the human condition, no matter the continent.
