Shadowkin

When the sun fails to rise, the world doesn’t burn—it withers. Across a planet trapped in unnatural twilight, survivors cling to scraps of light, unaware that every flicker feeds something ancient. In Geneva, a scientist uncovers a pattern buried in radiation: a spiral too precise to be chaos. In rural Thailand, a soldier watches his own shadow detach and whisper. And in the ruins of Mexico City, a mother leads her children deeper into a darkness that remembers her.

As society unravels, reality itself begins to misfire. Time loops, places warp, and identities crack. Each survivor finds themselves haunted by visions, doppelgängers, and voices that speak from behind mirrors. And when memories prove unreliable—what’s left to trust?

The sun may be dying. But something beneath it is awakening.

In this mind-bending descent into apocalyptic horror, truth and self unravel with every step forward. The deeper they go, the more the survivors realize: this isn't just the end of the world…

It’s the return of something far older.

If the sun was never yours to begin with, what did your shadow belong to all along?

This novel is part of SHADOWKIN: The Shadow of Death, a chilling series of interconnected standalone paranormal thrillers, where every shadow hides a secret and every story brings you closer to the darkness.

In the dark corners of forgotten towns and the fractured edges of human memory, whispers of the Shadowkin linger. They are not simply monsters, but reflections of guilt, grief, and secrets too heavy to bear. Each story in SHADOWKIN: The Shadow of Death pulls you deeper into a world where shadows walk, homes breathe, and silence screams. What begins as haunting encounters unravels into a terrifying truth: the Shadowkin are not visitors from beyond, but the darkness within us made flesh. Step inside this twisted series of standalone tales—where every revelation cuts deeper, and every ending hides a darker beginning.
