Origin Of Shadow Premium Hardcover Edition

The voice broke into his thoughts, everywhere and nowhere at once, deafening, yet somehow a whisper. "Are you ready to learn the truth?" Heir to a notorious crime syndicate, sixteen-year-old Vincent Wilder is determined to live up to his father's intimidating legacy, and expand his violent empire. The Wilders have terrorised the city of Pabell for decades and Vincent knows the business inside and out - and has dirtied his own hands more times than he dares to count. But no matter how ready he thinks he is, nothing could have prepared him for life at the helm. His father was a man of many things, but secrets wasn't one of them. Or so Vincent had thought. The deeper Vincent gets into his leadership role, the more terrifying and inexplicable skeletons he uncovers. With the threat of a revolution, a mysterious and intrusive voice in his head, and a long-lost history he knew nothing about, is he really up to the challenge? This is the large print edition of Origin Of Shadow, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.

Looks at the depiction and meaning of shadows in the history of Western art

This collection of short stories takes you on a ride through a broad swath of genres and themes: love stories, mysteries with a taste of history, cautionary tales of late night meetings with attractive men, sentience in unusual places, magic animals and a taste of the paranormal. You might find yourself face to face with a vampire or werewolf, a wendigo, or maybe a Shade hiding in the shadows. Visit the lost colony of Roanoke, a town in the countryside of France, or the dark streets of London as you read your way through this anthology.

As the world descends into ever darker chaos, Alaric Lambrecht seeks vengeance. No matter the cost. In Washington, evil takes another step toward true power. In the west, the 8th Battalion advances a terrible plan. The Shades' refuge is in ashes. Alaric's path takes him deep into 8th Battalion territory, and on a collision course with Raven Ivany and Zero, bringing Shadows and Shifters, Sages and Shades all together with a common enemy. The question is, can they together take the fight to the mastermind who is tearing the country apart - and defeat him?

Undercover operative John Wells investigates a possible Taliban infiltration of the CIA's Kabul Station.

Mason Jerah is a Shade, a mythical healer, living in secret in Northern California. Alaric Lambrecht is a Shadow, an empath and psychic, working alongside his family in the suburbs of Sacramento. After a serial killer is caught, and discovered to be a Shade, it sets in motion an unexpected tidal wave that affects them both. As the United States begins to tear itself apart with violence and xenophobia, Mason and Alaric are yanked out of their comfortable lives and cast into the turbulent waters of political intrigue and conspiracies, setting them on a collision course with each other and civil war.
