As powerful new rebels join the fight, the youth of Black Bottom Island must stand and face the enemy.

When Sano is taken hostage by rebels, his friends come to his rescue, but their power doesn’t seem to be strong enough. Sano and his allies must stand together to protect the island from the wrath of Gideon Banburi, the King of the Rebels. Though his visions offer him a darker path, Sano seeks to find those responsible for his loss and walk away from revenge and toward forgiveness to find closure. Will anyone listen to Sano’s pleas for forgiveness?

Apple Black
Many years ago, humans acquired “Black” fruits from a tree that descended from the skies, turning humans into sorcerers. Although all of Black is now extinct, humans still have sorcery inherited from their ancestors. Blessed with the Arodihs arm by Merlin, the god of sorcery, Sano is raised and trained in isolation and secrecy to be the world’s savior, known as the Trinity. As Sano embarks on his quest, the treachery, betrayal, and evil that have plagued nearly all of Eden again threaten the world. Experience Apple Black collected in library binding for the first time.
