Shadowcross Stories

ACROSS THE BORDER He crossed the border as a slave... but returned as the one they feared. After witnessing his parents murdered during a raid led by mixed traffickers, a young boy is saved by an old man who raises him, trains him, and teaches him courage. Years later, now a skilled soldier, he discovers a hidden letter: "Your real destiny is across the border." To uncover the truth behind the traffickers who destroyed his life, he fakes his death and disappears. He disguises himself in rags, pretends he cannot speak English, hides his white bird, and allows himself to be captured. To them, he is weak. Harmless. A nobody. But they are wrong. By day, he is a silent slave among countless others. By night, he becomes the masked fighter the traffickers fear- a shadow striking from the darkness, tearing their empire apart piece by piece. Yet everything changes when the leader's daughter begins to notice the quiet "slave" who seems too calm, too strong... too dangerous. In a world where justice has no color, and cruelty has no face, one man will rise from the ashes of his past to end a war no one else can see. His silence is a disguise. His courage is his weapon. And Across the Border... his destiny waits.
