Ender Wiggin was not the only young general trained to defend Earth from a terrifying alien threat. Many others had a part to play. But for one of them, it was to prove crucial.
No one knew his real name, but they called him Bean. His early life was a fight just to survive.

Someone who could become Ender's right hand. This is the story of the boy who became Ender's Shadow.
