I don't usually read books that are spin-offs of movies or TV series, but this trilogy really stands on its own feet.

Epigraph
There is a greater darkness than the one we fight.
It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way.
The war we fight is not against powers and principalities: it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death... (show all) of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams.
Against this peril we can never surrender.
—G'Quan
