In a city cloaked in shadows, ruthless assassin Ryder navigates a treacherous web of betrayal, driven by a haunting past and a deadly mission to eliminate the mastermind behind a catastrophic biological weapon. His path intertwines with Ava, a mysterious informant whose secrets are as lethal as his skills. As their forbidden attraction ignites a fierce struggle for survival, loyalty turns to deception, leading to devastating choices.

With each dark twist, Ryder finds himself ensnared in Victor LaGrange's nightmarish game, where trust is a fragile illusion and every ally could be a traitor. As the remnants of the Syndicate fall, the blood-soaked streets become a battleground for redemption and revenge.

In this heart-pounding tale of moral ambiguity, every decision leads deeper into the abyss. As the final confrontation looms, Ryder must confront the ultimate horror: to save Ava, he may have to forsake his own humanity. In the end, the shadows will claim their due, leaving only echoes of despair in their wake.All Rights Reserved

Whispered Shadows by Laconie1975

Years ago, a group of close friends ventured into the secluded Black Hollow Cabin for a weekend getaway. What started as laughter and camaraderie quickly turned into a nightmare when one of them, Emma, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispered warnings and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Stricken with guilt and fear, the remaining friends fled, swearing never to speak of that night again. Now, years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Maya, one of the surviving friends, receives an unsettling invitation to a reunion at the same cabin on Halloween night. Against her better judgment, she joins the gathering, hoping for answers but dreading what she might uncover. As the group reunites, old tensions surface, and eerie occurrences begin: shadows that move without light, whispers that echo in empty rooms, and unsettling reminders of the night Emma disappeared. When one of the friends goes missing under similar circumstances, the group realizes they are being hunted by a malevolent force tied to their betrayal. With secrets unraveling and the shadows closing in, Maya and her friends must confront the truth about what really happened that fateful night. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone-or something-knows their darkest sins and won't stop until justice is served. In "Whispered Shadows," betrayal isn't the only thing that lingers. Whispers of vengeance echo through the night, and shadows of the past may be their undoing.
