It’s not the first time she’s fled for her life.

When an armed assailant breaks into her home, geneticist Tari Salah is forced to run from an unknown enemy. The murder of two friends and the bombing of her lab strip her of all her allies. When she’s framed for the crimes and branded a terrorist, she can’t even go to the police for help.

He thought it would be an easy case…he couldn’t be more wrong.

Special Agent Dalton Fowler is thrilled when the director of a covert law enforcement agency handpicks him for a sensitive case. Locating and protecting a wrongly accused geneticist should be simple. When he’s shot his second day on the case, he quickly realizes that nothing about the case will be straightforward. Failure won’t just tank his career—it’ll end his life.

Hunted by the law, mercenaries, and covert groups, Tari and Dalton fight to stay one step ahead of their pursuers. Aided by a mysterious nomad, they struggle to piece the puzzle together before the killers catch up to them. Can they outmaneuver the killers? Or will the darkness consume them?

Great book

This was the first book I've "read" from this author, and I'm looking forward to more from her! It's set in the future but not too far in the future. The situation is somewhat terrifying but also very believable. Christians are under definite, but not usually violent, persecution. So when everyone around Tari starts dying, is it because of her scientific work, or because of her vocal faith? I enjoyed the whole book and am looking forward to the rest of the series so I can get some more answers about the "Shadows"!!! The narrator also did an excellent job - I hope she continues for the whole series!

Excellent Narration

A good plot that flowed the Suspence, the fear her emotions, her world was taken accused and not guilty. He tries and is shot, now determined, lives were at stake. Excellent narration that added to the story. Well done. Given audio for my voluntary r

A thrilling journey

Definitely a thrilling journey with the twists and turns that make it impossible to stop reading.
I liked how the author gives insights of the people “shadows,” which makes the story intriguing.
Congratulations to the author for masterfully writing this exceptional suspense! The narrator is brilliant!
Looking forward to the second book because the story doesn’t end…
I received an audio copy of this book; I was not required to write a favorable review. All opinions in this review are my own.

Suspenseful book

A tale that is full of intrigue and suspense set in our current era using current events.

A Christian Thriller... and there's more! (a series!)

This book was fantastic! It kept my attention, and kept me on my toes! There's clearcut good and evil here and I can't wait to see the SBA agent come to our sweet Jesus in the next book hopefully!! ❤️ Nice twist at the end for the top bad guy to replace Lincoln (the director over the SBA). Can't wait to see what the rest of the books in this series bring!!

Enthralling mystery and suspense

I found it so hard to lay this book aside to attend to my real life duties. It is exciting, thought provoking, and inspirational. I often wonder what will be the future of Christians until Christ returns. This was a realistic view of what could be ahead. I was intrigued by the characters and their part in the story. It's a clean book without inappropriate language or content; one of my stipulations for reading/listening to a book. This is the first I have heard of this author and I am most impressed. I hope to be able to get the next book. Though this book can be a stand alone, it does leave one wanting to continue the series.

The narrator is wonderful. She uses her voice to create the tension and excitement, the moods and emotions of the characters. Her performance brings the characters and the story to life.

I requested this audio book from the author and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

I would recommend this book.

I have many of Candle Sutton’s books and I always enjoy them. I will be reading the next one as soon as I can get it.

Great!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author weaved a tale I wasn’t sure the main character could recover from. There were twists, turns, and exciting pieces that kept me listening minute after minute. Highly recommend.

I was given a promotional copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. These opinions are mine alone.

Wonderful, excellent!

The narrator does a wonderful wonderful job! She doesn’t just read the book, she gives wonderful character voices for both male and female. This makes the book much more enjoyable. It will help you immerse yourself in the story! I can’t believe I am going to have to wait for the second book. This is a great start to a new series! From the very first page, we are already at a high suspense level. The book begins with action! One of the wonderful twists about this book is, instead of the author telling you only scriptures, she incorporates Christian principles into the main character. We get to see the main character using Christian principles in her struggles, in her daily life, in the forces that are trying to take her down. This is not what most Christian fiction books contain. This is a wonderful refreshing twist. The main character not only refers to the Bible, but she uses it to help her every day. Now, throw in a special FBI agent, at least a few organizations trying to end her life, and take her life‘s work, and you have a wonderful recipe for action, suspense, thrills, and God! You definitely need to read this book. You will be wonderfully amazed at how the author weaves together these, seemingly opposite characteristics.
