Sleeping Evil

Book 1: The Beginning

In the wild heart of Montana, two families—bound by friendship, loyalty, and a shared past in the Army Rangers—run a top-tier K-9 and Search & Rescue training company. When Claire and Clayton Lalich, along with their partners Duncan and Marley Walraven, decide to move their thriving business to a secret mountain valley, they hope for peace and a fresh start. But danger lurks closer than they think.

A menacing stalker, a sudden surge of global conflict, and the ever-present challenges of survival in the wilderness threaten to upend their lives. As the world outside grows more uncertain, the group must rely on their skills, their fiercely loyal dogs, and each other to protect what matters most. With a hidden valley as their sanctuary, every day becomes a test of courage, resourcefulness, and trust.

Blending pulse-pounding suspense, heartfelt relationships, and the heroism of extraordinary dogs, Hidden Sleepers Book 1 is a gripping tale of resilience and hope. Perfect for fans of survival fiction, military camaraderie, and stories where dogs are more than companions—they’re lifesavers.
