📱 eBook en inglés The Rippling Shadow

Something dark has escaped and its learning to be human...

When elementary school principal Linda Ashworth is caught on doorbell cameras stealing garden gnomes, Detective Greg Morrow is ready to blame a Halloween prank. After all, Linda was hosting her book club at the exact same time, with a roomful of witnesses to prove it.

Then an elderly widow with ironclad self-control is filmed pocketing candy she hasnt touched in years. A bank manager with a broken leg is found spray-painting the town war memorial miles from his hospital bed. The evidence is clear: people in Ebony Peak are showing up in two places at once.

As the cases pile up, Gregs tidy world of motives and alibis begins to unravel. A retired librarian whispers about guardians and a thinning veil between worlds. A real estate agents map points toward the old Victorian mansion on the hill and the sisters who live there — a family the town respects but knows little about.

To do his job, Greg will have to decide whether he believes in the impossible...

The Rippling Shadow is the mysterious prequel to the Witches of Ebony Peak series — a story of shadows, souls, and what slips free when ancient prisons crack.

This is one of three prequel short stories set in the Witches of Ebony Peak series. You can find your way into Ebony Peak on any of these paths, as each story stands on its own. If you prefer a guided road, start with The Empty Book, continue with The Rippling Shadow, and finish with The Onyx Call before crossing into the first full novel, Keeper of the Veil.
