The Afterdark world of Haven was far more terrible and beautiful than Pil Persins could ever have expected. But not everyone had survived the mission aboveground. They had been betrayed, and the traitor revealed a name that would soon become infamous: The Castaway King. As Pil and his friends return back underground they learn that, in their absence, a war has begun. The Elfin Mound Southden had been invaded by monsters and Fairy, and at the head of this army is the mysterious Castaway King.

They are outcasts. Hal, Stig, and the others - they are the boys the others want no part of. Skandians, as any reader of Ranger's Apprentice could tell you, are known for their size and strength. Not these boys. Yet that doesn't mean they don't have skills. And courage - which they will need every ounce of to do battle at sea against the other bands, the Wolves and the Sharks, in the ultimate race. The icy waters make for a treacherous playing field - especially when not everyone thinks of it as playing.

What does it mean to earn the silver oakleaf? So few men have done so. For Will, a mere boy, that symbol of honor has long felt out of reach. Now, in the wake of Araluen's uneasy truce with the raiding Skandians comes word that the Skandian leader has been captured by a dangerous desert tribe. The Rangers are sent to free him. But the desert is like nothing these warriors have seen before. Strangers in a strange land, they are brutalized by sandstorms, beaten by the unrelenting heat, tricked by one tribe that plays by its own rules, and surprisingly befriended by another.

Publisher's Summary
Pil Persins has never seen the sky. He has never felt the fall of rain or seen the stars on a dark night. For thousands of years, Elfin have lived underground, hidden away from the dangers of their world. The coming of the sun aboveground means death; monsters awaken and predators hunt. But it is a small price to pay for freedom.
At least that is how Pil and his two best friends, Felicity Falon and Dunken Dirk, see it. And that path to freedom is to become an Exidite - a brave band of underground warriors who are allowed out during the night to search for supplies and, if necessary, confront their enemies. But the world aboveground is far different than Pil and his friends could ever have imagined. The bright purple sky and thick forests hide beings far worse than their worst nightmares. Yet they persevere, hoping to find some light in the everlasting darkness, some truth in the lies and treachery of their enemies and, in some cases, their friends.
Life or death. Freedom or slavery. Love or betrayal. There is no room in between this war of darkness and light.
After the Dark is the first book in the Castaway King Chronicles series.
