Centuries upon centuries ago, Sombra had an easy life: A mother who loved him, a father who supported him, a best friend, and a deep-set crush. It was great, still gold beneath the tarnish. But one summer all that changed. His only friend moved away, his mother died, and his father all but hollowed out. Sombra still searched for the gleam of gold beneath the dents and scratches, but was it still there?

This is the tale of how he fell, and how he took a whole Empire--and his family--with him.
