After Days

An unforeseen global war engulfs mankind and turns the Earth to little more than ash and rubble. 19 year old orphan Leon and his guardian Ueda lead their family of survivors through the ruins of what was once known as London. They must defend against the brutality of other survivors, the Tainted and Celestia.

 

Crushing the armies of Celestia is Leon’s only ambition, but as he grows and discovers how to wield the legendary abilities of the Kel’Dar, he finds himself at the centre of a conflict which spans time and space itself.

 

He must trust in his new found powers and the help of those around him in order to deliver the world to its redemption. Though no matter how high he climbs, he is always threatened by the shadow of his demons.
