In the chilling story of "Shadows Within" we follow the life of Francis Adams, an ordinary librarian living in the heart of a bustling city. One fateful day, he stumbles upon an ancient, leather-bound book hidden deep within the labyrinthine stacks of his library. Little does he know that this discovery will change his life forever.

As Francis delves into the pages of the mysterious book, he uncovers a harrowing truth: he is the descendant of a long line of sorcerers, and the dormant powers within him have been awakened. With each passing day, his newfound abilities grow stronger, but so do the dark forces that lurk in the shadows, drawn to his power like moths to a flame.

Haunted by terrifying visions and plagued by restless spirits, Francis finds himself thrust into a world of urban fantasy where reality and nightmare intertwine. He must face sinister creatures that inhabit the city's underbelly, sinister cults that seek to harness his power, and his own inner demons that threaten to consume him.

In his quest for answers, Francis encounters a small group of fellow sorcerers, each with their own unique abilities and stories of survival against the darkness. Together they form an uneasy alliance, navigating a treacherous landscape of magic, danger, and betrayal.

As Francis embraces his ancestral legacy, he must confront his deepest fears to unravel the secrets buried within his family's past. With the fate of both the mortal world and the supernatural realm hanging in the balance, he embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth and save not only himself but all those he holds dear.

"Shadows Within" is a bone-chilling horror novel interwoven with urban fantasy elements, exploring themes of sacrifice, redemption, and the thin line between good and evil. Prepare to be enthralled as Francis battles his own darkness and fights to protect the world from the malevolent forces that seek to exploit his newfound powers

Kane Hendrix and his brothers have always known there's something sinister lurking beneath the surface of their family's legacy. The son of a notorious cartel leader, he's spent his life trying to distance himself from the shadow of his father's crimes. But when strange and deadly misfortunes begin to follow him, Kane starts to unravel a truth darker than he could have imagined: his bloodline is cursed. Nearly a century ago, his great great grandfather broke the heart of a powerful witch, leaving her to exact her revenge on every male descendant in his family. Kane is the latest in a line of doomed heirs, and the weight of the curse threatens to destroy him. That is, until he meets Cristina O'Connor. Smart, sharp-tongued, and fearless, Cristina is the light to Kane's darkness. From the moment they collide on their college campus, she turns his carefully guarded life upside down. Drawn into the chaos of his cursed existence, Cristina refuses to let him face it alone. Together, they uncover the tangled web of deceit and revenge that has spanned generations, leading them to question everything they thought they knew about their families-and themselves.

As the curse tightens its grip, Kane and Cristina must decide if their love is strong enough to survive a legacy of betrayal and blood. Can they break the cycle of vengeance and carve out a life free from the sins of the past? Or will the darkness that binds them ultimately destroy them both?

Valora Anton is a trained, lethal assassin, and she's running for her life. No one-no one-had ever come close to catching her. But when the net finally closes, she's transferred to an island prison house in the Atlantic, a place known for its brutality. She's certain this is where her journey ends-until she realizes she's wrong. Phoenix Knight is the iron-fisted warden of Atlanta Prisonhouse, feared by every woman under his control. Ruthless, unforgiving, and unbending, he rules with an absolute hand, tormenting misbehaved prisoners without a second thought. His pleasure comes from their suffering, from breaking them, bending them to his will. But when Valora enters his domain, everything shifts. There's something about her-something sharp, dangerous, poisonous-that draws him in. On one hand, he's repulsed by her icy demeanor, her unyielding nature. On the other, he's irresistibly allured by her presence, by the fire that simmers beneath her calm exterior. For the first time in years, Phoenix is out of control. And he hates it. Valora is no ordinary prisoner, and Phoenix is no typical captor. Their dynamic is a volatile cocktail of aggression, manipulation, and raw tension. Each encounter between them ignites a new spark, a dangerous push-pull of venomous desire that neither of them can resist. They are two forces of destruction, locked in a dance that threatens to undo everything they've ever believed in. The real question is: How far will they go to destroy each other? And in the end, who will be left standing, and at what cost? [Second Book of the V-Series] A Standalone Novel Complete.
