The Worst Year: 536 AD

In the year five hundred and thirty-six... the sun dimmed. Not for a

day. Not for a week. But for more than a year.

People woke each morning expecting light... and instead found a pale, cold shadow in

the sky. They didn't know it then, but they were living through...

what historians would later call the worst year to be alive. This wasn't the

end of the world. There were no trumpets. No earthquakes tearing

cities apart. Just something far more dangerous. Silence. Cold.

And hunger.
