And now for the query…

Query for Shadow Born

Eighteen year old Raffin has tried to stay hidden, tried to blend in on Earth and be normal, even though he’s not completely human.

Now he’s face to face with a man from his past and the truth. A truth right out of his nightmares.

Created for vengeance, his alien maker hellbent on destroying our world and dominating another, Raffin becomes aware of the fact that he was meant to end humanity.

Influenced by his Sire’s memories, and caught up by the allure of power, Raffin struggles to remain true to himself.

Taken to a world away from his own, unlike any place he’s ever known, a dark threat from his family’s past emerges there.

Equally matched with the enemy, when only one will live, Raffin must win, or die trying. The fate of two worlds rests on him.

A ShadowBorn

Shadow Born is coming soon from Entranced Publishing!
