Fueled by relentless ambition, his vision of control extends beyond wealth and power, into the realm of human lives. His "ghosts," children bred and trained to be perfect instruments of obedience, are the foundation of his dark legacy.
But in the depths of this empire, sparks of defiance flicker. Camilla Mikhailov, a woman born into privilege but haunted by truths she cannot ignore, and Igor, one of Dmitry's most loyal "ghosts," find themselves questioning the world they've known. As their paths collide, they must decide whether to confront the forces that shaped them-or be consumed by them.
"Shadows of Control" is a gripping tale of ambition, betrayal, and the enduring fight for freedom. With vivid prose and morally complex characters, it takes readers on a harrowing journey into a world where the only choice is to resist... or obey. Will power prevail, or will humanity's light break through the darkness?
