Shadows of the Forsaken

THE FORSAKEN SOULS #1

Vivian Clarke doesn’t have time to worry about the people that have been disappearing for the last several years.


Not when she has her own troubles to worry about. A younger brother to support. A new life that is just within grasp.


Until her loved ones find themselves among those vanished souls.


Crossing paths with an unexpected ally in the same position, Vivian hesitantly joins him to uncover secrets from the past that seem connected to the loss of their kin. Even greater than that, these long-buried truths have the potential to change the dynamic of the entire world—that is, if the gods allow them to surface after their intentional concealment.


Fiercely loyal, and admittedly overprotective, Vivian will stop at nothing to bring those that have disappeared back home safely and deliver justice to whoever is responsible for these mass abductions. Even if it means sacrificing her own soul.


Torn between her loyalty to her loved ones and her loyalty to all of humankind, will Vivian be able to make the correct choice under pressure? Or will she fall into the very trap laid out for her by the beings that will do anything to keep their secrets protected, leaving all of humankind at their continual mercy?

How's everything coming along?
