Before the Era of Mass, there was the Shadow Age, a time when the planet Earth still rotates on its axis, but more and more slowly.
At that time, the 'Oms, the Inhabitants of the Shadows still lived in their fortified cities. But the Ramparts of the Night were closing in on them, terrifying them and swallowing them up.
And yet among the Shadows, dreams gradually rose up in the form of primitive beings that became known as the Others. Knowing neither pity nor hatred, these creatures had only goal: to the reclaim their birthright, the land they had lost, the Earth.
This edition combines Les habitants du crépuscule (The Inhabitants of the Shadows), first published in 1982 and Les remparts de la nuit (The Ramparts of the Night), first published in 1984.
