Shadowborn: War of Secrets
A novella by Damian Jay Clay
An introductory novella to the SOE Series
April 1940. Narvik burns. The Nazis have invaded Norway, and something ancient has awakened in the shadows.
Fifteen-year-old Knut Larsen was never meant to be a soldier, a spy, or anything more than a baker’s son. But when the German war machine crashes into his sleepy Nordic town, Knut discovers a power hidden in darkness, one that allows him to vanish from sight, slip through walls, and become something more than human. Shadowborn.
As his brother joins the resistance and his town falls under the iron grip of Nazi occupation, Knut is forced into a silent war of his own. Hunted by a traitorous priest and drawn into a secret web of Allied spies, occult science, and ancient prophecy, Knut must choose: hide in the shadows or fight from within them.
A spellbinding fusion of gritty WWII alternative history and dark urban fnatasy, Shadowborn is the explosive first installment in the SOE series, Stormbringers, where monsters wear uniforms, magic has a body count, and the war for Europe has only just begun.
