At some point, everyone discovers the truth later than they should.
I wrote *Shadows of Betrayal* around that moment —
the moment when loyalty starts to crack,
when the people you trust aren’t as solid as they seemed,
and when small choices quietly set everything in motion.
I’m currently giving away the first two chapters of the novel for free.
If you enjoy suspense, layered characters, and stories where trust is tested before it’s broken, you may enjoy the opening.
