Dust and Shadows: A Dystopian Thriller: One Ancient Prophecy. One Sect. Total Annihilation.

By Owen W. Knight

Locked down. Watched. Hunted.

When Emily and Peter move to the remote, isolated community of Templewood, they expect a fresh start. Instead, they step straight into a cage. Controlled by The Sect-a shadowy organisation with its hooks in global governments and extraterrestrial allies-every move they make is monitored, and every exit is blocked.

At the center of it all is a missing relic of arcane power and a deadly turf war between two rival factions: the Pros and the Cons. Both sides share one belief: Peter is the living key to unearthing the lost knowledge and unlocking a catastrophic global prophecy.

As ancient myths collide with a terrifying alien-backed conspiracy, Emily and Peter must decipher the truth before The Sect's master plan reaches its endgame.

When the smoke clears, will there be a world left to save?
