The Shepherd Chronicles Part I: Books I through V of "The Shepherd Chronicles"

By Aaron Vincent

Imagine the frustration of seeing your beloved hometown rot slowly from the inside as crime and disorder take hold of it. Imagine the anger and fear when you find no help from those who are supposed to protect you. Imagine the icy tentacles of organized crime slowly taking over your city and its officials.Now imagine you decided to do something about it.Nestled between the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean in the forty-second of the United States of America, Washington, are the two small cities of Centralia and Chehalis in the county of Lewis. Less than twenty-five thousand people live in these two small hamlets, a full third of the entire population of Lewis County, with nearly ninety percent of the people being white.In tough times people often turn to any distraction available to forget about the rest of the world. Lewis County soon earned the dubious title of being the mecca for methamphetamine use and production in Washington State. And the drugs beget other crimes, new criminals, and eventually gangs.Ansell Pembleton was just an average nobody in a small town until the night his brother was attacked. He had no reason to hate, mistrust, or even look down upon anyone else. He was an intelligent and educated young man who looked ever forward to a brighter future and judged each man or woman by his or her own actions. Unfortunately for Ansell the world doesn't always play fair. When the police failed to find any leads in his brother's case something inside Ansell changed. He discovered that hiding within plain and simple Ansell was The Shepherd, a man destined to become a superhero. "The Shepherd Chronicles Part I" tells the tale of Ansell Pembleton's metamorphosis from a video game playing slacker to real life superhero. During his journey Ansell discovers things about himself, and about The Shepherd, that he never imagined. He also makes powerful enemies and powerful allies. And he finds himself faced with the greatest question any superhero will be asked: what price is he be willing to pay to secure the safety of his friends, family, and city?
