FIRST BOOK IN THE SHADOW CHILDREN SAGA
✧
There's plenty of thrill to be found in exposing the government alongside your loved ones.
Let's just hope everyone makes it out alive.
✧
It's been four years since Jaylen escaped the Shadow Project, an organization that turned her into a human-animal hybrid android. During that time, she's made a name for herself, both as a co-owner of a successful restaurant and liberator of sexual assault victims. Sure, her method isn't legal, but she's used to getting her hands dirty. At least now the blood on her hands isn't solely for the benefit of the elite.
Besides the nightmares and the fact that almost no one in her life even knows her real name, she's actually doing pretty well. But there's just one very important lesson that Jaylen is about to learn:
It's that the past never truly dies, even if you kill it with your own hands.

Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence.
