Fractured Light: Book One in the Fractured Light Trilogy

“Our reality is under attack. I tried to warn them, but no one would listen. And when the invasion came it wasn't from the sky. They attacked us from the shadows.”

"This is pure five-star entertainment full of exhilarating and non-stop action...sucked me into the world of the stars and beyond!" – Mr Ripley's Enchanted Books

Is our reality all there is or could there be something lurking beneath it?

Jake lost everything when his dad died during an experiment into dark energy. Ever since Jake's become an outsider in his home town, carrying the guilt for a catastrophic event that devastated their local community.

Six years later on the way back from college, Jake witnesses a satellite crash-landing and starts receiving garbled messages hinting at a conspiracy. But when he then begins to see something lurking in the shadows he even begins to question his sanity.

In desperation, Jake turns to his former best friend Chloe, an underground hacker who like many turned her back on him. But even if she believes Jake, do they still have enough time left to solve the mysteries that link all the events together and unlock an ancient secret hidden in human DNA? 

If they fail the coming darkness will devour all life across our world.

Watch out for the shadows.
