''Eclipse Hunter'' is a novel series by Yu Wo, the author of ''HalfPrince'' and ''Literature/TheLegendOfSunKnight''. The series follows the same entertaining mix of SeriousBusiness and [[HilarityEnsues wacky comedy]], all whilst throwing [[{{Bishonen}} hot guys]] and [[StuffBlowingUp intense action]] into the mix. Translations of the novel can be read [[http://novel.oddsquad.org/p/eclipse-hunter.html here]].

!These novels provides examples of

* FragileSpeedster: Shain.

* RoseHairedGirl: Eloise.

* MadScientist: First subverted then played straight with Theodore, when he first saves Daren's personality, but is later shown butchering human corpses with a surgical knife.
* PaperThinDisguise: Given [[spoiler:Devon]]'s general failure to recognize most people after they change even a minor part of their appearance, one of these would probably work on him every time.

->'''Daren:''' Please let Dar protect you, Gege... It's not just gege who wants to protect Dar, Dar wants to protect gege too.

The actual story begins when the new Solaris Emperor, Devon Solaris, is about to take over. He's just turned 24 and has demanded the return of his little brother, Daren, whom Devon's father blames for his wife's death. After seven years of asking, he finally gets his wish, but not as he expected. In the past seven years, Daren has been turned into a [[PersonOfMassDestruction living weapon]], a cyborg named Dark Sun. Devon, maddened by this atrocity, proceeds to kill almost everyone in the room. But before Devon can finish the job, the last man standing, Theodore Avery, explains that he had taken pity upon Daren and had saved his emotions. With Devon's simple orders, Daren is back, but still with the mind and emotional maturity of a 7-year-old child.

Devon [[BigBrotherInstinct loves his brother with every fiber of his being]] and quickly uses his power and influence to set up a [[TheMasquerade second life]] for his little brother so that he may have the chance to live the life of a normal teenager.

* SuperStrength: Ezart, Daren, and Eloise most notably.

* DangerouslyGenreSaVvy: The Lunaris emperor quickly manages to figure out that Dark Sun is Devon's little brother ''and'' set up a trap to capture Daren in order to lure out Devon.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: It turns out that [[spoiler: Devon ''did'' have mutual feelings towards the Lunaris Emperor,]] but that was because his feminine looks, long hair, and traditional Chinese attire (which is out-and-out explained to be rather dress-like by western standards) made him look like a girl. When Yuer finally confessed, he'd chopped most of his hair off and had decided to wear western clothing, making his status as a guy more clear. And completely unrecognizable on [[spoiler: Devon's]] part.

* FieryRedhead: Ezart gets very worked up when irritated or about to fight. Subverted, Elian has red hair, but he's rather calm and composed.
* FoeYay: The Lunaris emperor openly admits that he's head over heals for Devon.

* ParentalSubstitute: "Papa" Avery, partially forced by Devon, becomes a father figure to Dar.

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Daren/Dark Sun.
