In this multilayered thriller of secrets and family, eyes are everywhere, and safety might only be another illusion.

Evan and Shadow welcome a new life into theirs.

Their son, Bright, cements their bond and provides hope that they can move forward from the harrowing past.

But their former lives can't leave them alone.

A threatening appearance from Evan's 19th-century self and fearful visions from his grandmother, Venice, warn him that Bright could be spirited away. The family takes refuge in a safehouse provided by Evan's father, Bruce, while he plots to bring down the Secret Eye Agency, ending the threat it poses now that it has lost sight of its original purpose.

Will the past catch up to the present?

Shadow's ex, the SEA agent Marvin, won't stop his relentless pursuit until they surrender to his demands. Evan's nephew is the first to fall victim-but not the last, if the Storm family refuses to hand over Bright.

Or will the present trap itself in a bitter cycle?

Enraged and hungry for vengeance, Evan goes to Bruce, seeking clues that will lead him to Marvin. What he finds will only entangle his new family further with the choices and secrets of their parents and grandparents. The revelations won't all be welcome.

And then there are the dead who don't seem to stay dead.

From twisted histories to the terrifying threats and choices characters must face here and now, SHADOW continues a story it's impossible to forget.
