ShadowsOBX
Prequel of the Wraith Series before Tony Laguna heads to the Outer Banks.
Before the Pogues.
Before the treasure.
Before the mask.
Before the name The Wraith
He was first known as "The Man in Black."
Tony Laguna arrives in Riverdale with a past he refuses to talk about and a rage he barely keeps contained. A former infantryman and hooded warrior, haunted by war, loss, and violence, he tries to live quietly... until Riverdale's corruption drags him into its underworld.
When people start disappearing, gangs tighten their grip, and the police look the other way, Tony realizes the law isn't coming to save anyone.
So he becomes something else.
With wooden escrima sticks in hand and a black hood pulled low, Tony wages a one-man war against predators stalking Riverdale's streets. Every fight pushes him further from the man he used to be-and closer to the vigilante the town will come to fear.
But Riverdale isn't just crime. It's secrets.
And people like Cheryl Blossom, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Archie Andrews, and Jughead Jones start noticing the shadow moving through the night.
As Tony walks the line between justice and brutality, love, loyalty, and sanity are tested. The mask begins as protection.
It ends as a curse.
Because the Wraith isn't born in the Outer Banks.
He's forged in Riverdale.
