Shedding Starlight
Kingdom Hearts is a series about love, friendship, good vs. evil, and light prevailing in the dark. Sounds simple? What about soul possession, human experimentation, and the end of times? The rumors are true, it’s deeper than you think.

Shedding Starlight lays out all of the worldbuilding, hidden concepts, and character motivations that the games hid between the lines.
