    Negotiations with the LA vampires have failed.  
    Having survived the attempted razing of their enclave by the dragons, the vampires are now holding Jordan’s sister hostage and are demanding a unicorn for her safe return. There’s only one problem.  
    Unicorns aren’t animals. They are wild magic best left alone.  
    Jordan holds the media responsible for Katie’s capture. If they had stayed out of his private life, she would’ve been safe. With Edra banned from LA and Jordan unable to even look at the case, there is nothing they can do to facilitate her release unless they want to risk catching a unicorn. 
    The vote that will decide the status of mythological people draws near, protests are increasing, and wild magic is creating havoc in the city. Jordan and Edra are pushed to their breaking point. When Jordan encounters the unicorn, it gives him what he craves most: escape.  
    As tensions rise, lines are drawn. Edra is on his own to save Jordan and the city.

    Shadow Sentinel: A Genetic Engineering Technothriller 
    Written by Rex Flint, the former Pentagon cyber operator who turns classified nightmares into edge-of-your-seat thrillers. Narrated by Juli Brooks, also a former Pentagon communications specialist and professional voice-actor who brings stories to life. 
    Monsters aren’t born. They’re engineered. 
    When a flash flood seals off Tall Pines, Georgia, ex–Air Force investigator Archer Lucas is dropped into a nightmare. Locals whisper about the Wampus Cat. The truth is uglier: A secret research lab has turned the Appalachian woods into a live test range for gene-spliced predators. 
    Cut off by rising water and dirty politics, Archer’s only reliable ally is A.L.I.C.E., an off-grid AI with her own secrets. By dawn, the bodies will stack up unless Archer can expose the operation, outmaneuver a federal smokescreen, and survive the hunt. 
    Shadow Sentinel blends Michael Crichton’s scientific dread with Stephen King’s knife-edge tension: biotech gone feral, a town under siege, and an investigator who refuses to look away. 
    You’ll love this if you’re into:Technothrillers like Jurassic Park, The Terminal List, RelentlessSurvival horror like The Troop and The RuinsDeep-state intrigue, black-site biotech, and unstoppable monsters 
    Lock your doors. Keep the lights on. The hunt begins now.
