Shadow of Harlem: The Ninja Chronicles
His father was supposed to be dead. The secrets beneath Harlem tell another story.
Malik Carter has spent his adult life trying to be ordinary. A former Army combat medic working as a maintenance supervisor, he carries skills his grandfather taught him long before he understood their purpose. But when a masked intruder breaks into his grandfather's abandoned repair shop, Malik discovers a hidden scroll, a mysterious photograph, and a warning that overturns everything he believes about his family:
DO NOT LET THEM FIND DANIEL.
Daniel Carter is Malik's father-the man he was told died twenty years ago.
Following the clues into Harlem's hidden world, Malik encounters a secret dojo, dangerous alliances, and rival factions whose interest in the Carter family reaches far beyond revenge. The Kurokage, Black Lotus, and Ghost Division each hold pieces of a history someone has worked desperately to conceal. Every answer draws Malik closer to his father-and deeper into a conflict where even the people offering protection may have something to hide.
Then Malik discovers the Carter-second: an extraordinary ability that changes his relationship with time. What begins as an advantage in a fight becomes a connection to something far larger, binding his family's past to a future he can barely comprehend.
As the mysterious Shadow Protocol threatens Harlem, Malik must confront betrayals, impossible reunions, and the cost of trying to preserve the people he loves. Finding the truth will demand more than courage or a blade. It will require him to decide which promises deserve his loyalty, which secrets must be exposed, and whether anyone has the right to choose another person's fate.
Shadow of Harlem: The Ninja Chronicles blends martial-arts action, family mystery, and science-fantasy suspense in a story about identity, memory, love, and the power to make your own choices.
Set against Harlem's rooftops, brownstones, and hidden passages, Jimmy Odom Mattison's novel follows a man discovering that his greatest inheritance may also be his most dangerous burden.
