– BLOOD IN THE SHADOWS –

HOW MUCH ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE TO SURVIVE?

Several months have passed since the Vercys accident. Akion Tiles has become a legend at the University of Mendran: the man who defeated a star. But to him, there was nothing heroic about what happened, only a struggle for survival that left him forever changed.

Now, with his new ship ready for its maiden voyage, he must escort a group of professors to Tanar, a planet where day and night last forever. What begins as a routine scientific expedition soon turns into a nightmare. Something lurks beneath the surface. An unexpected danger that will put their lives at risk and force him, once again, to fight for survival.

In a place where the darkness never retreats, Akion will discover that blood is the price of preserving one’s humanity.

And that facing the abyss always leaves scars… if it doesn’t consume you first.

AN ADVENTURE OF EXPLORATION AND SURVIVAL

Blood in the Shadows is the second novel in the Akion Tiles series, a space opera adventure that blends planetary exploration, suspense, action, and survival on a hostile world. Far from the dreams of freedom that drove the first installment, Akion must confront the consequences of his past experiences and discover how far he can go without losing his humanity.
