SHADOWS OF RED

Shadows of Red - a story about secrets that follow you like shadows.
Red Park is fourteen, quiet, and sees everything. His twin sister Lana is loud, bright, and pretends not to worry. Their mother Maria works double shifts at the hospital and comes home smelling like exhaustion and unspoken fear.
Then a red envelope appears on the kitchen table - hidden under a pile of bills she'll never finish paying.
When Red and Lana walk through the school gates that September morning, they don't know their world is about to crack open. The Groover family owns half the city. Their daughter Rose makes Red forget how to speak. And somewhere in the fog between the streets and the secrets, someone is watching the Park twins.
Because not all debts are paid in money.
Some are paid in blood.
