Tethered by a crumbling twin bond, Odion senses an unearthly presence within his brother, Apollo—a haunting shadow lingering since the day their foster parents met a grim fate. As chilling murders cast suspicion on Apollo, Odion grapples with a tormenting fear. He guards a truth shrouded in darkness: a dormant entity within Apollo threatens to emerge, burdening him with unfathomable responsibility. Only Odion holds the key to halt Apollo's ominous trajectory, even if it demands confronting his deepest fears. Meanwhile, a dire choice weighs heavily on Apollo. Falsely accused, should he surrender, accepting a life in prison for crimes he never committed? Or dare to unleash the dormant entity, risking chaos to reclaim freedom from a twisted fate? In The Monster Within, the inaugural chapter of Marcel Jones’ urban fantasy series, Legacy of Shadows, delves into a world where superpowers don't guarantee heroism. As tension tightens and secrets unravel, the once unbreakable bond between the brothers strains under a haunting legacy. Uncover the truth, but beware—the shadows conceal more than mere secrets.
