Where Shadows Break

By Jordan L Athey

Cass only wanted to matter. Tarn only wanted to atone.
Together they're drawn into a conspiracy woven from lies, faith, and forbidden magic-one that doesn't care who it breaks.

Cass, a rogue with nothing but daggers and stubborn will, never asked to be anyone's hero. Tarn, a fallen paladin stripped of rank and haunted by failure, only seeks penance in a world eager to forget him. But fate binds them tighter with every step into the shadows.

What begins as survival soon spirals into something far darker: mercenaries chasing cataclysm, a Church with secrets worth killing for, and ancient magic that twists the living into monsters. As Cass and Tarn fight through dungeons, betrayal, and the ghosts of Tarn's past, they discover that trust is both their greatest strength-and the sharpest blade poised to cut them down.

Every choice carves deeper. Every victory leaves scars. And every shadow carries the promise of loss.

Because in this story, happy endings are a lie-and survival comes with a price no one is ready to pay.
