Between Man and Shadow

A storm should have killed him. Instead, it gave him back to the world-changed.

Ifthi Rahman is a man already broken when fate strikes. A failed marriage, distant children, a hollow job-he is a man of values with nothing left to hold onto. Then, on a mountain ridge beneath an eclipse sky, lightning splits the heavens, the ground gives way, and Ifthi falls into the void.

But death does not claim him.

He awakens in a hidden jungle village where ancient healers tend his shattered body. Their medicines knit his wounds, yet something else works within him-the fumes of a forbidden experiment, the storm's fury, the fire of the eclipse. Day by day, Ifthi feels the change. His body grows stronger, faster. His senses sharpen. His endurance bends the rules of nature itself. To the tribe, he is an omen. To himself, he is a question.

The world beyond has not forgotten him. The research center whispers of lost data. Dr. Patterson, a brilliant but broken scientist, searches for what slipped from his grasp. And the FBI begins to circle, its agents seeing in Ifthi not just a fugitive, but something they cannot name-or stop.

Now Ifthi must walk the line between man and shadow. Between the city that hunts him and the jungle that shelters him. Between the life he once knew and the destiny that calls him forward.

A tale of survival, transformation, and the thin boundary between human and something more, Between Man and Shadow grips with suspense and mystery until the very last page.
