Askani Son #4
In "A Bright and Shining Light," Nate grapples with the weight of being declared the Askani' Son by Sanctity, a title he’s far from ready to embrace. As Haight’s Canaanite forces, led by the traitorous Straitor Umbridge, launch a brutal assault on Ebonshire, the Clan faces annihilation—only for Sanctity to vanish in a blast, teleporting to Stryfe, and Nate to make a bold declaration: the end of the old Clan Askani, and the rise of the new Clan Chosen. With Gene Ha’s striking interior art and Andrew Pepoy’s dynamic inks bringing the chaos to life, this pivotal issue reshapes the destiny of the Askani with emotional stakes and high-octane action.

Askani Mother, Sanctity, proclaims Nathan to be the long awaited Askani' Son in front of the entire Clan. Nate isn't too happy about it. Led in by the undercover Straitor Umbridge, Haight's Canaanite forces converge on Ebonshire and attack the Askani Clan. Sanctity appears to be decimated in a ship's blast but is actually teleported to Stryfe in whom she sees great potential. Umbridge gets the drop on Nate and Aliya but Tetherblood arrives just in time to save the day. Nate puts the Canaanites on notice and proclaims an end to the Clan Askani and the birth of the Clan Chosen.
