Shadow's Reckoning

This isn’t revenge. It’s reckoning. When Sheriff Rebecca West answers a late-night dispatch about a fatal car accident on the bridge, she fears the worst. The victim isn't just any driver—he’s her informant. The man who risked everything to send her a thumb drive exposing the monster who shattered her life. He was on his way to Shadow Island, seeking her protection.

Instead, he found death.

The strangulation marks covering his neck underscore the grim truth. This was no accident. It was an execution. And Rebecca knows exactly who’s behind it. He’s silenced anyone who’s dared to stand against him—her parents, an inventor who once worked for him… and now, her final connection to the truth.

Now, he’s coming for her.

Every act of violence is a warning. Every victim that falls is a message. He doesn’t just kill—he makes examples. And unless Rebecca finds a way to stop him, she’s his next lesson.

The game is set. The pieces are moving. And the stakes? Everything.

Safety is an illusion, and Shadow’s Reckoning—the pulse-pounding twentieth installment of the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—will have you checking over your shoulder long after you turn the last page.
