Shadows of Frey

LOYALTY BREAKS EASIER THAN BONE.

Eighteen-year-old Tobias Frey would rather chew glass than endure another minute of his father’s scorn. When his first mission as an adult is to lead a squad into the rotting underbelly of post-collapse New Orleans, he seizes the chance to prove himself—even if his team sees him as nothing more than the commander’s failed heir.



Their mission: Infiltrate the Weeping District, a skeletal ruin where air hums with the ghosts of old magic, and retrieve something—anything—that could turn the tide against Gwendolyn Crane, the war’s most enigmatic enemy. But the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes:

-Crane isn’t the butcher propaganda claims

-The ruins remember—and they don’t forgive trespassers

-The artifact they unearth was meant to stay buried



Now, with his squad dying around him and his father’s obsession with the artifact spiraling into madness, Tobias must choose: obey orders and damn what’s left of his city, or betray his blood to stop what they’ve awakened.
